Commencement

In his May 18 Baccalaureate address, the Maude Sharpe Powell Professor of Religious Studies and Distinguished University Professor urged the Class of 2018 to be present to those in need and listen to the lessons that are offered.

Seniors, faculty and staff filled Lakeside Dining Hall on Wednesday for the annual Senior Picnic sponsored by the Office of Alumni Engagement and the Office of the Provost. 

A member of the Class of 2018 will be able to share this special day with her parents, neither of whom have been out of their home country before. 

 

The threat of rain midday means that the Senior picnic scheduled for today will be held in the Lakeside Dining Hall and second-floor Lakeside meeting rooms, with buffet lines in both locations. 

Elon's three Commencement ceremonies this week will be streamed live. 

With a possibility of rain in the forecast for Saturday, May 19, graduates and their families should pay special attention to details of the Commencement rain plan. Read this note for essential details you will need to know.

The stretch of East Haggard Avenue that runs through Elon's campus will close at 7 p.m. on May 18 and reopen at 9 p.m. on May 19.

Pugh, the Maude Sharpe Powell Professor of Religious Studies, was honored in fall 2017 as a Distinguished University Professor for his scholarship, leadership and teaching.

With input from senior class officers, President-elect Connie Ledoux Book has selected Elon’s eighth president to address the Class of 2018 at the 128th undergraduate Commencement exercises on May 19.

 

Elon University has made available online customized announcements for graduating seniors and their parents to submit to hometown newspapers.
