Commencement

When Staci, Kristi and Suzanne Scott receive their degrees on May 25, they will be the first triplets to ever graduate from Elon University in the same class year.

Take a look at some of the Twitter remarks and Instagram photos from Commencement that students, alumni & parents tagged with #ElonGrad.

More than 400 members of the Class of 2012 made a gift to their alma mater this year, a number higher than any previous campaign on record.

Steve Schuckenbrock '82, president of Dell Services, asks the Class of 2012 in a keynote address to “commit to character” in their lives.

In his keynote address, the chair of the Love School of Business Board of Advisors tells graduates to "share some of your success with others."

Ruth Messinger, president of American Jewish World Service, encouraged students to be bold during Elon’s Baccalaureate sermon in Alumni Gym.

On their last full day as Elon seniors, students mingled with classmates and faculty at graduate receptions hosted by their respective schools.

With just three days until they receive their diploma, Elon University seniors gathered Wednesday on the lawn outside Moseley Center for the Senior Class Picnic for Graduates, Faculty and Staff. The annual event gives students a final opportunity to mingle over pork barbecue and chicken with the professors and staff members who have shaped their lives over the past four years.

It’s easy for members of the Class of 2011 to focus on making money as they start preparing for life after graduation, particularly if they have student loans to pay. But as the Rev. Andrew O’Connor reminded them as part of Elon’s Baccalaureate sermon on May 20, there is a greater wealth for them to seek, one that comes from a life of humility and service and that is better understood by looking at one of the sweetest creatures of all: bees.
