Elon University is featuring a variety of photos every month to highlight the exceptional learning, work and activities of students, faculty and staff.

Elon University’s Engineering in the Village program brings ABSS students together each month for free, hands-on STEM activities that spark creativity and confidence.

Parents Neil and Jennifer Wizel P’28 are among the latest donors to make generous gifts to Elon's new home for health and wellness that will serve all students, faculty and staff.

As a Califf Endowed Scholarship recipient, Malia Cortes ’28 uses her opportunity to pursue biology and the pre-med track to the fullest. With over 400 volunteer hours and an internship at Alamance Eye Center, she hopes to one day work and support Alamance’s Dermatology Practices.

Driven by a lifelong love of sports, Shaan Gandhi ’27 has turned passion into purpose through hands-on learning at Elon. With support from the Queen City Internship Grant, he gained real-world experience with the ACC while growing his sports business, SAG Autographs, and learning from mentors who inspire him to lead with drive and adaptability.

Members of the Elon community are invited to join President Connie Ledoux Book Thursday, Nov. 6, for the announcement.

Elon’s “deep sense of commitment” to student success inspired Trustee Debra Del Vecchio P’22 P’24 to generously contribute to the center that will integrate academics, wellness, campus recreation and fitness programs to ensure students gain the skills they need to thrive on campus and beyond.

The gift from Ilene and Andy Cantos P’25 will strengthen Jewish Life on campus by providing valuable funding for internships, student scholarships, facilities and programs.

Mya Lee '26 turned her creativity and hard work into success through the Odyssey and Honors Fellows Programs, leading on campus, studying abroad, and inspiring others, including her younger brother.

High school sweethearts, Rachel and David Campbell '13, credit Elon’s scholarships and hands-on experiences with shaping their lives. Now, through the Catanese and Gardner Families Internship Endowment, they’re helping current students overcome financial barriers to pursue life-changing internships.
