More than 700 young alumni have made gifts to the university and participated in the final IGNITE Challenge, which ends on March 31. Here's a sampling of what they said after making their gifts.
“ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ provided a great foundation for me and has helped me launch my career and life in the right direction! Thank you!”
–Tyler Brandt ’06
“ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ taught me to be a leader. Early in a career you may not have a leadership ‘title’, but that doesn’t mean you are not a leader. Thanks ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ for defining what leadership means to me.”
–Maggie Santry ’08
“I support ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ because of the intangible gifts it gave me as an undergrad. I have been able to take with me the lessons and skills that helped me grow and apply them on my job. I’m proud to be an ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ alum!”
–Lauren Flood ’11
“I give to ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ annually to be an active alum and to give back to a university that gave me such a great education and network of friends! LONG LIVE ELON!”
–Cameron Davis ’06
“Great Memories!!! Great Education!!”
–Carrie Nicholas Moss ’04
“ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ is a community that fosters relationships among students, staff and faculty. As a ‘baby acorn’ on ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s campus your first year to a ‘blossoming oak tree’ your senior year and beyond, ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ gives you a support system that you will have for life—and that is irreplaceable. Our community is one of a kind and has allowed me not only to exceed academically but to develop professionally and personally into a person that I am proud of. I am incredibly thankful for the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Family!”
–Lauren Fellmeth ’10
