Welcome to Planning Week 2025

Elon will once again collect school supplies and personal hygiene items for K–12 Alamance-Burlington School System (ABSS) students experiencing housing insecurity. Donations can be made at the Opening Day Breakfast on Monday, August 18, or at campus drop-off locations through Thursday, August 21. Details on donation sites and needed items will be emailed to faculty and staff. This initiative is co-sponsored by the Office of the Dean of Students, Staff Advisory Council, and Kernodle Center for Civic Life. Thank you for supporting the wellbeing and educational success of local students!

Events of Planning Week will begin on Monday, August 18, 2025 in Elon University’s Alumni Memorial Gymnasium, Koury Athletic Center. 

University Directory Photographs

All Elon faculty and staff members are encouraged to have their photo included in the university’s online directory. Please make plans to have a new or updated photograph taken. If you are new to Elon, if your photo is missing from the campus directory, or if your photo is more than three years old, please have a new photo taken by the Office of University Communications. No appointment is necessary, simply just drop in during a session that suits you. The portraits are taken from chest up on a gray backdrop in a photo studio.

Location

The photo studio is now located in the southwest corner of Alumni Gym, close to West Haggard Avenue. Please enter through the external doors in the southwest corner of Alumni Gym, noted by a red star on this map.

  • Tuesday, August 19: 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
  • Thursday, August 21: 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
