Philanthropy

Alumni have made more than 100 gifts to the university after viewing Elon's Real Alumni of Genius video, the second in a series of videos this year that will highlight the importance of annual giving. Check out this new video featuring three Elon presidents and one faculty rock star: http://www.elon.edu/alumniofgenius

During this year’s Senior Class Giving Campaign, members of the Class of 2011 will be encouraged to make a gift to the university to show their support for their Elon experiences.

About 3,000 people have watched President Leo M. Lambert's message about the important role that alumni play in Elon’s future, including making annual gifts to support the best of an Elon education. This is the first of several videos the president will share with alumni this year via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and E-Net.

Elon will begin upgrades to the Walter C. Latham Park baseball facility following the 2010 baseball season. The improvements are made possible by a group of generous donors led by trustee Dr. Bryan Latham and his wife, Janet, of Miami, who made a $250,000 commitment to fund the work.
