University Advancement

The fifth annual event offers Elon students, faculty and staff an opportunity to thank donors for their ongoing support of university programs and experiences.

The event, hosted by the Office of Alumni Engagement, brought Elon to the nation’s capital for a reception that drew more than 300 attendees to the National Geographic Museum.

A celebration on March 10, 2015, in honor of Elon’s birthday raised more than $702,000 to support students, scholarships, athletics, and faculty and staff.

The March 11 event connected the recipients of endowed scholarships with donors for an evening of fellowship in McKinnon Hall.

Thousands of alumni, parents, faculty/staff and friends from around the world posted their belief in Elon and made gifts to the university on March 10, 2015, setting new records for engagement and philanthropy.

The day will include a Global College Coffee and opportunities for the Elon community to show they believe in the university by making a gift.

A Jan. 10 event in London marked the launch of expanded international programming by Elon’s Office of Alumni Engagement.

Elon’s alumni donors will be specially recognized as part of the annual celebration that ushers in the winter season to campus.

More than 250 reunion volunteers combined to help raise over $1.5 million for the university this year.

University trustee Jeanne Robertson and her husband Jerry have continued their support of Elon athletics by funding extensive improvements to the university’s track and field facilities.
