How the Elon football team turned a seven-game losing streak in 2016 into a historic season a year later.

Elon student-athletes visited Garrett Elementary to read to students as part of the One Book, One School project.

This past December, Elon’s student athletes teamed up to provide gifts for nine Alamance County children with the local nonprofit organization Christmas Cheer. 

Joe West, a quarterback for Elon's football teams in the early 1970s, is now a Major League Baseball umpire. 

The annual event in Alumni Gym will generate funding for student-athlete scholarships. 

The "Opening Doors" story series celebrates the power of scholarships to change the lives of Elon students and the generosity of donors who make this transformation possible.

The recognitions come as Elon prepares for a first-round contest against Furman University in the university's second-ever NCAA Division I Football Championship appearance. 

The Elon Phoenix will host top-ranked James Madison University at Rhodes Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 18, at noon, with selections for the NCAA FCS playoffs to take place on Sunday. Want to attend a playoff game? Find more information here. 

The 5,100-seat, 160,000-square-foot facility will provide a premier gathering space for major campus events and serve as the new home for Elon's basketball and volleyball programs when it opens next year.

The quarterback helped lead the Phoenix to its sixth-straight win on Saturday with a victory over the University of Rhode Island.
