>> Check out the #ElonGrad dashboard page

Whether you plan to take a selfie, show off your oak sapling or simply stay connected with what’s happening as Commencement 2014 approaches, you can use social media and the hashtag #ElonGrad to enrich your experience.

In the days leading up to Elon’s 124th Commencement, the university will be utilizing a variety of social media platforms to highlight memories of years gone by and to showcase special moments as they happen in real time.

We want you to show off the creative message you painted on your mortarboard, the last group photo you took with your friends or even that picture of you sneaking into a campus fountain while decked out in your cap and gown. Use #ElonGrad on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Vine to share content or email it to socialmedia@elon.edu.

You can also use #ElonGrad to share your favorite moments, quotes and memories of Commencement 2014 as they happen – and be sure to tag @elonuniversity in your posts! Additionally, #ElonGrad will be featured in tweets and messages for students, parents and guests that contain important information about this year’s ceremony.

Elon will showcase the content you create – as well as pictures, videos and stories of its own – on this special #ElonGrad dashboard. Just make sure your posts are public! We won’t be able to see content from private accounts. Follow the university on FacebookTwitterInstagramYouTube, Vine, Google+, Pinterest and LinkedIn.
