The class of 1966 will be celebrating their 55th class reunion with the classes of 1964, 1965, and 1967 at Homecoming & Reunion Weekend, Nov. 5-7. Plans are being made in accordance with Healthy Elon guidelines and specific requirements will be shared closer to the date. We hope you will return to campus to celebrate your reunion with classmates, family and friends no matter where your journey has taken you since graduation. Whether or not you are able to join us, we ask you to mark this reunion by giving back. We encourage you to make a gift of any amount that is meaningful to you.

For reunion information or volunteer opportunities, please contact Chandler Thompson Boyle, director of annual giving.
