Residence Life

Elon University’s fourth annual POWERless Energy Competition concluded this month with students in Danieley Center C receiving top honors for reducing their building’s power usage by almost a third of what it consumed during a baseline measurement period.

The mayor of a Kansas town that turned itself into a “green” community following a tornado in 2007 visits Elon University this month to talk about the challenges and successes his town discovered throughout the recovery and rebuilding process.

A special Residential Campus Committee has spent the past year drafting a plan that will transform Elon's living-learning environment. Through a new website, the committee is inviting a campus conversation about the details of this initiative, a major goal of the Elon Commitment strategic plan.

Elon's residence halls open for new student move-in day beginning at 8 a.m., Aug. 27. If you live more than four hours from campus, check-In begins at 8 a.m. If you live less than four hours from campus, check-In begins at 10 a.m. Orientation Staff will be available to assist you with parking and unloading. Your cooperation in using the following directions and designated parking areas will help Move-In Day run smoothly. Traffic congestion may become an issue with over 1,400 new families entering the campus at once. Read this note for details.
