University Communications

What We Do

The Office of University Communications promotes the mission and identity of Elon University through a variety of print and online publications for students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff and the public.

University Communications staff members serve the community as the first source of information about the university. Communications include The Magazine of Elon, E-Net!, @Elon employee newsletter, various admissions materials, and all official news releases distributed by the Elon University News Bureau. We also assist university employees with the design of Elon Web sites.

The Office of University Communications is located in Truitt Building on South Campus at the corner of East Trollinger Avenue and Antioch Avenues.
