Elon LEADS

Even during this challenging time, two-thirds of Elon University employees made gifts to the institution in support of student scholarships, athletics programs and more.

The university’s Odyssey Program resonates with senior Koster Silvernail ’21 and parents Shelby and Andy Silvernail P’21, leading to a generous gift that will help high-achieving students with financial need attend Elon. Support for Odyssey and other scholarships is the top priority of the Elon LEADS Campaign.

A generous gift from Robert and Rosemary Baffi P’17 will increase scholarships in Elon’s nationally recognized Odyssey Program. Creating more endowed scholarships is the top priority of the Elon LEADS Campaign.

The generosity of alumni, parents and friends has doubled the number of Odyssey Scholarships during the Elon LEADS Campaign. The Odyssey Program assists outstanding students with high financial need, including first-generation college students.

Elon Trustee Jay Hendrickson ’71 and his wife, Amy Hendrickson ’69, support A Will to Lead, a special initiative of the Elon LEADS Campaign to inspire donors to establish a lasting legacy by placing the university in their estate plans.

Ava Rosen ’23 reshaped her future thanks to the Inman Family Odyssey Scholarship, which led her to Elon. Creating new scholarships to produce Graduates the World Needs is the top priority of the $250 million Elon LEADS campaign.

Together, the Elon community raised over $3.4 million from 5,609 gifts and unlocked numerous opportunities for Elon students and the community.

The on-campus events offered an opportunity for students, faculty and staff to safely gather to celebrate the university and support Elon Day.

Join us today to celebrate Elon Day, the university’s annual day of giving. Make a gift, attend virtual and on-campus events, and show your Elon spirit on social media as we grow opportunities for students.

Mark your calendars: Elon Day, the university’s annual day of giving, will take place on Tuesday, March 2.
