University Advancement

Alumni, parents, faculty and staff invested in Elon and its students in record numbers during the 2017-18 fiscal year.

Key alumni leaders gathered in Washington, D.C., for an informative retreat hosted by Elon’s Office of Alumni Engagement.

More than 750 members of the Class of 2018 supported Elon with a senior class gift.

Jay and Patricia Caler P’15 of Denver, North Carolina, want to help provide the same transformative experience their daughter, Katie ’15, enjoyed as an Elon student.

This year saw 78 percent of Elon University employees make gifts to the institution in support of student scholarships, athletics programs and more. 

Christopher P. Martin ’78 P’13, an Elon alumnus, trustee and parent from Tinton Falls, New Jersey, is one of the university's most loyal and generous benefactors. His recent gift will provide funding for scholarships and other key priorities in the future.

Elon junior Lindsey Jordan ’19, of Mooresville, North Carolina, shares her passion for helping others thanks to the life-changing impact of her Honors Fellows scholarship. This is the first in a series of videos highlighting the impact of endowed scholarships at Elon. 

The eighth annual gratitude event, held April 17, celebrated the impact of philanthropy on Elon’s campus.

The board was joined by President Connie Ledoux Book as they made the scholarship official at their annual spring meeting.

Elon students, faculty and staff will have the chance to show their appreciation to the university’s donors by writing thank-you cards during A Thousand Thanks, a campus-wide gratitude event taking place Tuesday, April 17.
