An “Evening for Elon” was held at the Gannett corporate headquarters in Tyson’s Corner, and included tours of the USA Today newspaper offices. Elon alumus Gary Evans ’74, director of circulation marketing for USA Today, made arrangements for the use of the facilities.
The event included a reception and an Elon update presentation by President Leo M. Lambert.
