Fun Facts

  • New students at Elon University receive an acorn, and after graduating they receive an oak sapling. These woodsy gifts celebrate the beginning of their college careers and subsequent growth, respectively.
  • Furman Moseley, an Elon University alum, inspired the school's tradition of giving each graduate a sapling after he gave the graduating class of 1991 a redwood sapling, commemorating their future growth—as well as his career in timber.
  • Elon is Hebrew for oak. All first-year students receive an acorn to signify the beginning of their journey and an oak sapling during the week of Commencement as a symbol of the growth they experienced during their time at Elon University.
  • Every Tuesday morning at Elon University, students, faculty and staff gather for College Coffee on Phi Beta Kappa Commons. This beloved tradition brings everyone together for conversation over coffee and pastries.
