Commencement news releases available to download

Elon University has made available online customized announcements for graduating seniors and their parents to submit to hometown newspapers.

Members of the Class of 2013 and their parents can now download customized news releases for distribution to hometown newspapers that publish information on academic achievements.

The university encourages submissions to local newspapers, which often announce college graduations in their community sections.

President’s List and Dean’s List honorees will have similar news releases available for download in the weeks ahead.

Students and parents may contact Holley Berry in the Office of University Communications if they need to make changes to the news release before sending to local newspapers.
