University Advancement

In the midst of the holiday season, the Elon New York City Alumni Chapter searched to find how we could make an impact in our own community in a robust way leaving behind an even larger impact than expected.

Elon LEADS Campaign chair Chris Martin ’78 P’13 announced a special campaign initiative to allow alumni, parents and friends to establish a lasting legacy at Elon by placing the university in their estate plans to fund scholarships and other key institutional priorities.

The recent graduate worked through COVID-19 and the Texas winter storm to generate funds for Austin Pets Alive!, a no-kill animal shelter in Austin.

Together, the Elon community raised over $3.4 million from 5,609 gifts and unlocked numerous opportunities for Elon students and the community.

The on-campus events offered an opportunity for students, faculty and staff to safely gather to celebrate the university and support Elon Day.

Join us today to celebrate Elon Day, the university’s annual day of giving. Make a gift, attend virtual and on-campus events, and show your Elon spirit on social media as we grow opportunities for students.

The university’s communications efforts in 2020 were recognized for excellence by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education.

Mark your calendars: Elon Day, the university’s annual day of giving, will take place on Tuesday, March 2.

Elon parent Steve Anderson P’16 has made a $125,000 gift to the Elon LEADS Campaign to support the university's innovative new hub for STEM education, which offers "hope for the future."

Elon’s Koenigsberger Learning Center creates one-stop learning commons for all students and synergies for support services, even during the pandemic.
