Summer Welcome Events

Hosted by Elon families and alumni, Summer Welcome Events are a way for incoming Phoenix and their families to connect with others from your hometown or region.

These casual, welcoming gatherings are designed to ease the nerves that can come with heading off to college, build a sense of community, and celebrate joining the Phoenix family. It鈥檚 also a great chance for parents and families to meet others, share experiences, and begin forming your own support network for the journey ahead.

You鈥檒l have the opportunity to chat with current students, families, and alumni, get real insight into life at Elon, and mark this exciting milestone together鈥擯hoenix style!

Dates for 2026 Summer Welcome Events will be released on June 23, along with a registration email to all incoming families. Below is a tentative list of Summer Welcome Event locations.

Can’t wait to see you at an event this summer!
