More than 2,000 alumni returned to Elon University for Homecoming 2016 to reconnect and celebrate. 

The celebration in the center of Elon University's campus featured the party band Six Stylez from Greensboro, food trucks, lawn games and inflatables. 

Alumni returning to campus for Homecoming had eight mini-classes to choose from in a new offering for 2016. 

The new 5,100-seat convocation center is scheduled to be completed in mid-2018 and will become home to Elon's basketball and volleyball programs. 

Five Elon students were among a group of 25 brought together by Harvard University's Institute of Politics to discuss their views during the last debate. 

Jason Husser, assistant professor of political science and the director of the Elon University Poll, was interviewed by members of McClatchy's Washington Bureau.

Social media has revolutionised how we communicate. This article by Elon Professor Jonathan Albright is part of a series of articles published by The Conversation that looks at how it has changed the media, politics, health, education and the law.

The purchase, restoration and installation of this piece of Elon history were made possible by the generosity of Raymond Beck '75 and his wife, Deborah.

The 2016 Alumni Award winners will be honored on Friday, Oct. 21 at 9:30 a.m. in the McBride Gathering Space in the Numen Lumen Pavilion. 

The Elon community is invited to a special ceremony at 5:15 p.m., Friday, Oct. 21, at the construction site adjacent to Hunt Softball Park on North Williamson Avenue.
