Summer Welcome Events

Hosted by Elon families and alumni, Summer Welcome Events are a way for incoming Phoenix and their families to connect with others from your hometown or region.

These casual, welcoming gatherings are designed to ease the nerves that can come with heading off to college, build a sense of community, and celebrate joining the Phoenix family. It’s also a great chance for parents and families to meet others, share experiences, and begin forming your own support network for the journey ahead.

You’ll have the opportunity to chat with current students, families, and alumni, get real insight into life at Elon, and mark this exciting milestone together—Phoenix style!

Below is a list of Summer Welcome Event locations. Several events are still being finalized. Keep checking this website for updates.

If you are unable to attend a Summer Welcome Event or one is not near you, Ready, Set, Elon is perfect for you. This webinar will be in August, a week or two before move-in. A set of current Elon parents and a current Elon student will share their perspective about move-in, orientation weekend, Elon 1010, classes, getting involved on campus and so much more. An email will be sent in late July to register for the webinar, with two available times.

Can’t wait to see you at an event this summer!
