Homecoming! Our first full-on Elon LGBTQIA Alumni Network Homecoming is this Oct 19th and 20th. Join us at any or all of the following:

March 30 and 31st, 2012, Elon hosted our first LGBTQIA Alumni Summit. President Leo Lambert, Jim Piatt (VP for University Advancement) and Durice White, Smith Jackson, the LGBTQ Office, and your fellow LGBTQIA alumni met for a special weekend of events and planning for the new LGBTQIA Alumni Network. Wish you had been there? Get involved as little or as much as you'd like, and please note the "A"--Spectrum has always had wonderful straight allies and we welcome you if you want to join in! Use the contact info in the first paragraph on this page if you want to know more.

Fall 2011 Homecoming included two events sponsored by Spectrum and the LGBTQ Office:

  • Friday the 21st, 5:30-7 pm: Alumni Meet & Greet with light refreshments, a discussion of current activities, and a discussion led by Adam Smith, former Spectrum Co-Chair, on life after Elon.
  • Saturday the 22nd, 10:30am: Tailgate & Banner Competition, Harper Center. SPECTRUM WON THE BANNER! Truly an Elon first, and the banner will be proudly displayed in the new LGBTQ Office when it opens in Fall of 2012.
