The Elon Alumni Association honored five exemplary graduates on Oct. 23, 2010, during the annual Alumni Awards Breakfast held as part of Homecoming. Jack R. Lindley Sr. ’56, Kebbler McGhee Williams '98, Michelle C. Pautz ’03, and Charles “Chuck” and Carole Ann Collard ’89 received the Distinguished Alumnus, Distinguished Alumna, Young Alumna and Alumni Service awards, respectively.

Elon alumni from all eras returned to campus Oct. 23 for Homecoming festivities that included affinity group reunions, tailgating and football. Relive the moments with a photo gallery of images captured by the Office of University Relations.

Elon alumna and trustee Kerrii Brown Anderson ’79, former CEO of Wendy’s International, has issued a challenge to all young alumni: Make a gift of $20 or more during February and she’ll match it 5-to-1. Anderson wants to increase participation in annual giving among Elon’s young alumni.
