Appomattox Trip March 7-8

Join Elon Outdoors this weekend for a fun trip up to Appomattox, Virginia. We will be touring the historic Appomattox Courthouse, the site where General Lee surrendered his army to signify the end of the Civil War.

All exhibits contain many original artifacts associated with the events surrounding the surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. We will depart Friday, March 7th and return to campus on the afternoon of March 8th.

We will be holding Interest Meetings for those who may have questions on Monday, March 3rd at 5:00pm and Tuesday, March 4th at 6:00pm.  Please note, you do not have to come to an interest meeting to sign-up for the trip.  Each interest meeting will be held in Koury Commons (the area between Belk Pool and the Fitness Center).
