University Advancement

Fifty-three percent of graduating seniors honored their alma mater by contributing to a class gift presented before Commencement on May 23, 2015, to Elon University President Leo M. Lambert.

The campaign, which ends May 31, has achieved a 71 percent participation rate. 

The community celebrated Friday the alumni, parents and friends whose generosity made possible the Inman Admissions Welcome Center, which will greet generations of prospective Elon University students and their families.

An annual awards program held April 23 recognized the academic success and service of those involved with the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business. 

The fifth annual gratitude event, held April 14-16, celebrated the impact of philanthropy at Elon by encouraging members of the campus community to write thank-you notes to university donors.

The fifth annual event offers Elon students, faculty and staff an opportunity to thank donors for their ongoing support of university programs and experiences.

The event, hosted by the Office of Alumni Engagement, brought Elon to the nation’s capital for a reception that drew more than 300 attendees to the National Geographic Museum.

A celebration on March 10, 2015, in honor of Elon’s birthday raised more than $702,000 to support students, scholarships, athletics, and faculty and staff.

The March 11 event connected the recipients of endowed scholarships with donors for an evening of fellowship in McKinnon Hall.

Thousands of alumni, parents, faculty/staff and friends from around the world posted their belief in Elon and made gifts to the university on March 10, 2015, setting new records for engagement and philanthropy.
