Dear Elon Parents,
On behalf of the Parents Council, we would like to welcome the parents of the Class of 2012 and new transfer students to Elon! You have become members of a very special family. Elon is a unique place where students, faculty, staff, and parents work together to ensure that your sons and daughters receive a transformative education.
As an Elon parent, you are now a member of the Elon Parents Association. The Parents Council serves as the board of the Elon Parents Association, keeping you informed about university activities, policies, programs, and plans for future development. The Council provides parents with a means to share observations, suggestions, or concerns about university programs and student life. Please feel free to contact us or any member of the Council through the Office of Parent Programs at 888.784.ELON. Be sure to bookmark the Parent Programs Web site—it is a portal to help you access all facets of the university Web site, including information on Orientation and Move-In Weekend (New Parents), Family Weekend, Commencement, and much more.
The most enjoyable responsibility of the Parents Association and Council is to assist with the Summer Welcome Events. These informal gatherings are hosted by our members to introduce new students and their families to Elon before the school year begins. It is a great opportunity to network with other parents in your area. For those of you who do not live near one of these events, you are welcome to contact us or any Council member through the Office of Parent Programs. Click here for a complete list of 2008 Summer Welcome Events.
Please make sure you sign up through E-Link to receive the latest university news and announcements. Through E-Link, you can receive ThisWeek@Elon, the university's e-mail newsletter, and other important announcements that are sent directly to your inbox. Also, please join Elon’s Town Square, E2, a social network for parents, students, faculty, staff, and alumni. You can sign up for the Parents of the Class of 2012 group or other class groups by state and region. E2 is the best way to stay connected and share information with parents in your area and the Parents Council.
Parents are among Elon’s most consistent and generous donors. We hope you will join us by supporting the Parents & Grandparents Fund. Your gift to the Parents & Grandparents Fund provides a critical source of annual funding to the university, which sustains and enhances Elon's quality programs and facilities that are enjoyed by our students. A gift of any amount makes a difference and is most appreciated.
We wish you and your students a most successful year at Elon!
Best regards,
Bob & Kally Badavas P’09
