New Student & Transition Programs

New students affirmed their commitment on Thursday morning to the virtues of honesty, integrity, responsibility and respect in the university’s eighth annual Call to Honor program.

Instructional and Campus Technologies held its 6th annual Connected@Elon event on Aug. 26 during New Student Orientation.

Privilege.  Identity.  Social Justice.  The journey begins with you.  Through interactive activities and focused discussions, participants will learn how their identities influence all they do and how to use this knowledge to become agents of change on campus and in our world. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere!” This event is free for all students, faculty, and staff and is part of the New Student Orientation activities this week.

From new dorms to additional dining options, Elon students will find a host of enhancements and expansions when they return to campus this fall.

For the past two years, the Elon University community has donated thousands of needed school supplies to children classified as homeless.
