Elon University is featuring a variety of photos every month to highlight the exceptional learning, work and activities of students, faculty and staff.
While July continued to be a time to refresh and relax, campus was also abuzz with summer activities, including welcoming the new cohort of Odyssey Program scholars and the Spring Undergraduate Research Experience presentations.
View some of the most impactful moments of the past month through the eyes of staff in the Office of University Communications.
Pizza with the pros
Elon University’s Center for Access and Success welcomed the newest cohort of scholars in the Odyssey Program. From July 12-18, the new students participated in Odyssey Week, the annual orientation event for the merit-based scholarship program. Part of that week included a “Pizza with the Pros” event where the scholars heard from faculty and staff around campus, and were able to ask questions about college life.
Campus construction
The Holland House, a 4,000-square-foot brick building that once served as the official residence of two Elon presidents, is being renovated to accommodate an expanded golf clubhouse, featuring coaches’ offices, locker rooms, and a gathering space for athletes. It is one of several construction projects happening this summer on Elon’s campus.
Campus to community
Nearly 50 Elon University students participated in the Campus Alamance program this summer, which connects students with internships in the local community.
A SURE summer
Nearly 60 Elon students participated in the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE), presenting their work on July 24 in the Snow Family Grand Atrium. SURE provides students with an opportunity to gain meaningful research experience over the summer, without the pressure of other courses during a typical semester.
