Commencement

Nosipho Shangase '17, who graduated from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa, has become an accomplished public health scholar at Elon and will pursue her doctorate in the field. 

The trio of students participated in Elon's ROTC programs, which are offered in collaboration with N.C. A&T State University. 

As part of the culturally rich ceremony, students received a handmade kente cloth that represents the culture, spirituality, sophistication and tradition of their African ancestors.

Surrounded by family, friends and Elon faculty and staff, 25 students in the Master of Arts in Interactive Media program's Class of 2017 celebrated the completion of the program during a ceremony May 18.

The May 18 tree-planting event is an extension of the Elon tradition of handing out oak saplings to new graduates.  

We’re hoping for clear weather, but JUST IN CASE, please read through details of the rain plan for Saturday's undergraduate Commencement.

The evening before their commencement ceremony, graduate students in Elon University's Interactive Media master's program exhibited their thesis projects to professionals, faculty and staff, family and friends.

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

The Senior Class Picnic is sponsored by the Office of Alumni Engagement and the Office of the Provost to bring seniors, faculty and staff together to celebrate the graduating class. 

The stretch of East Haggard Avenue that runs through Elon's campus will close at 7 p.m. on May 19 and reopen at 9 p.m. on May 20.
