Commencement

Six members of the Class of 2019 participated in a signing ceremony in Clohan Theatre to formalize their participation in two service-year programs offered by Elon in partnership with local organizations. Six fellows who have completed their year of service were also recognized. 

Sponsored by the Office of Alumni Engagement and the Office of the Provost, the annual event offers a chance for seniors, faculty and staff to gather heading into Commencement. 

Elon's Commencement ceremonies this week will be streamed live.
