On-campus attendance at various events has been tallied. Many alumni, proud of their affiliation with Elon, returned to renew friendships.
Homecoming Reunion Weekend 1999 attendance totals are about finished. Reading (deciphering!) and recording everyone’s signatures from the sign-in sheets is a challenge but produces very worthwhile information.

Our reunion program is certainly working. Almost 800 alumni signed in for the 1999 Homecoming Reunion Weekend and nearly 200 of those alumni were “new” visitors to campus! That means we are bringing alumni back to campus who have not been back for years and that is one of the things Elon College Alumni Relations office is trying to accomplish.
Homecoming 2000 is Nov 3-4-5, 2000.
Reunions will be held for classes ending with “0” or “5”. All other classes are welcome also; reunions are not limited to a particular class.
