The Piedmont District 7690 Rotary Club only awards one Global Grant, but due to increased funding and the strength of Elon’s applicants, the Club was pleased to award grants this year to three Elon alumni.

Representatives from McKinney, Pace Communications and APCO Worldwide visited the award-winning, student-run communications agency to share insights and foster connections.

"Evening for Elon" came to the Tampa regional chapter on Nov. 14, featuring a President Connie Ledoux Book with alumna Kailey Tracy ’17. Guests learned about new initiatives like the HealthEU Center, advancements in AI integration and programs connecting students with alumni through platforms like Elon Q&A.

During her Nov. 1 acceptance speech, the Elon alumna shared her inspiring journey from an uncertain post-graduation start to becoming executive editor of PR Daily. Her story highlights the importance of resilience, curiosity and embracing unexpected paths.

“Confessions of a Christmas Letter,” written by Jennifer Smith ’95 and her sister Kate Smith, premiered on the Hallmark Channel Nov. 17.

Jaylan Evans ’20 currently stars as Skylar in the Netflix series “My Life with the Walter Boys.” The Elon alum and Greensboro, North Carolina native says it’s a dream come true, but he’s nowhere near done.

Hosted in conjunction with the Department of Sport Management, the Nov. 8 event brought together students, faculty and industry professionals to discuss critical issues and insights through engaging networking sessions, classroom visits, and an afternoon panel in Turner Theatre.

Elon’s student newspaper, The Pendulum, also captured first place in the Liberty Awards for the best election print edition in collegiate journalism.

The event was designed to give Elon Los Angeles students invaluable, face-to-face interactions with high-profile LA-based alumni who have established their prolific, professional careers in the city.
