Elon University has made available online customized announcements for graduating seniors and their parents to submit to hometown media outlets.

The university encourages submissions to local newspapers, which often announce college graduations in their community sections.

President’s List and Dean’s List honorees also have news releases available for download.

Students and parents may contact Eric Townsend in the Office of University Communications at etownsend4@elon.edu if corrections to the news release need to be made before sending to local media.
