A look back at select sights from around campus during a year that saw challenges, triumphs and celebrations.
¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ is closing out another year in its history — one that was marked by academic achievement, service to the community, celebration of its students and the continued challenges that face a university community during a global pandemic.
Elon hosted the dedication of facilities including the Janice Ratliff Building and The Inn at Elon and new signature buildings — Founders Hall and IQ2 — take shape within the Innovation Quad. Unique this year were two ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ commencement celebrations for the Class of 2021 AND the Class of 2021, with hundreds of these recent graduations returning to campus in the fall for an in-person celebration.
Classrooms and labs continued to be homes to learning and mentoring, student-athletes saw success on the field and court, and though in smaller numbers, Elon students fanned out around the world for global experiences. ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ, faculty and staff were engaged with the local community in a wide range of volunteer activities, and Elon students honed their skills and pushed their professional careers forward in internships across the country.
In short — it was another great year to be a Phoenix! Here’s to 2021, and to what lies ahead in 2022!
