Elon Charlotte

In the same week that Queens University of Charlotte makes its historic debut in the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament, visits to both campuses by college counselors, and two trips to Elon by Queens administrators and staff, illustrated the continued collaboration between both institutions.

Faculty and staff from Elon University and Queens University of Charlotte convened on the Queens campus on Feb. 27, 2026, to continue merger integration and planning and to hear from four prominent Charlotte executives who shared stories of collaboration and anticipation of reinforced educational resources that will drive the region's future.

Nearly 80 faculty and staff met face-to-face at Elon University to shape academic, cultural and operational plans for a merger that will enhance the student experience on both campuses and expand educational offerings in the Charlotte region.

Elon University’s Charlotte campus hosted a College Coffee for prospective students and clinical supervisors highlighting the integration of mental and physical healthcare.

The Elon alumnus has been named coordinating producer for Elon Sports Vision, where he will oversee student crews and strengthen mentorship and professional development within the program.

Composed of faculty, staff and administrators at both institutions, the committee will envision the future of a merged institution and provide opportunities for members of campus communities to share ideas for enhancing future student experiences. 

The team will be co-chaired by Jeff Stein, Elon’s newly appointed chief integration officer and executive vice president, and Pamela Davies, president emerita and senior strategy and integration executive at Queens.
