Be a part of Elon's Commencement tradition

Alumni can now participate in one of Elon's most cherished traditions: giving oak saplings to recent graduates.

It’s hard to forget the moment when you received your oak sapling, the symbol of the growth you experienced as a student during your time at Elon.

Now you can be a part of that special moment for future alumni. The Office of Alumni Engagement is inviting alumni to return to campus for the 124th Commencement Exercises on Saturday, May 24, to hand out oak saplings to members of the Class of 2014 and welcome them to the alumni family.

The ceremony begins at 9:15 a.m. After the recession, join the Alumni Engagement staff near the Powell Building to help hand out the oak saplings. If you are interested, please respond to Jordan Bacharach ’09, coordinator of young alumni and student engagement, at jbacharach@elon.edu.
