Elon Alumni

The Elon University Board of Trustees voted unanimously Dec. 14 to approve a $586 million strategic plan that will guide the university's development during the next decade. "The Elon Commitment: Engaged minds. Inspired leaders. Global citizens.," was created over the past 15 months, involving the entire community of students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and friends in a discussion about Elon's future.

The Daily Beast, one of the leading new Web-based media outlets, has named Elon one of the decade's hottest colleges. The list of 15 colleges and universities ranks schools that make up a "whole new class of first-choice schools" that have "transformed the collegiate landscape" during the past 10 years.

The Office of University Advancement has launched a new online Honor Roll of Donors as a companion to the print version of the Elon Society Honor Roll that appeared in the fall issue of The Magazine of Elon. All donors who made a gift to Elon during the past fiscal year (June 1, 2008 – May 31, 2009) are included in the searchable database.
