Elon President Leo M. Lambert presented the medallion to five retired faculty and staff members for their meritorious service to the university during an event marking the start of a new academic year. The university also recognized four endowed professorships and two longtime professors were named Distinguished University Professors. 

Kathy Matera, a professor of chemistry, will spend the next two years as the Japheth E. Rawls Professor for Undergraduate Research in Science. 

The endowed professorship is funded by the estate of the late Isabella Cannon ’24, a former mayor of Raleigh, N.C.

The professorship honors senior full professors for their career achievements in teaching, scholarship, leadership and service to Elon.

In kicking off the 2017–18 academic year, Elon’s president gave his 19th and final opening address by talking about five issues that are critical to the university’s future.
