About 150 Elon alumni and parents celebrated the launch of the Ever Elon: The Campaign for the Future of Our University at a kickoff event in Boston Nov. 13.

More than 100 Elon alumni and parents from the Washington, D.C. area joined President Leo M. Lambert for a regional launch of Ever Elon: The Campaign for the Future of Our University on Nov. 19.

Elon seniors Ivy Crank, John Planisek, Lindsay Clement and Chase Rumley have been selected to join Teach for America, a highly selective program that recruits recent top college graduates and working professionals to commit two years to teach in low-income communities across the country. They were among 5,857 applicants in the first of four recruiting periods for the program’s 2009-10 academic year.

A $2 million gift commitment from the Dalton L. McMichael Sr. Foundation will provide the largest scholarship endowment at the Elon University School of Law. The endowment will fund three full-tuition scholarships annually, with the first to be awarded to a member of the 2009 entering class who is chosen as a McMichael Law and Leadership Fellow.
