Homecoming

A section of East Haggard Avenue that runs through campus will be closed from 1 to 10 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 1.

The Elon community is invited to contribute to a set of Phoenix wings to demonstrate how the university has lifted them up.

The app, available for Apple or Android, offers up-to-date schedules, a campus map with zoom capabilities, information about on-campus resources, on- and off-campus dining locations and hours, driving directions, social media and more.

Tickets for the event during this year's Homecoming festivities go on sale at 10 a.m. on Sept. 23 for Elon students and at 8 a.m. on Oct. 7 for members of the public.

Two major fall 2019 event dates have been confirmed. Family Weekend will kick off on Friday, Sept. 27, with events taking place throughout the weekend, and Homecoming and Reunion Weekend is Nov. 1-3.

Alumni volunteers worked with Elon to coordinate fundraising efforts and host special events on campus during Homecoming weekend, Nov. 2-4.

About 3,000 alumni joined Elon students, faculty and staff on campus for a variety of events celebrating their common connection to the university, each other. 

The annual "Rock the Block" Homecoming celebration drew hundreds of alumni, students, faculty and staff for music, games, food and fun. The crowd cheered the announcement that $6.1 million was given by alumni this year as part of their reunions. 

Four members of the Elon community were honored at a Nov. 3 ceremony for their advocacy work on behalf of LGBTQIA issues on campus and beyond
