This piece is the first in a series of “Ask an Alum” columns that will be periodically published online through a partnership between Elon University’s Young Alumni Council and The Pendulum.

In 2007, Elon University’s Young Alumni Council was created by a dedicated group of volunteers to ensure that Elon placed a proper focus on communicating and engaging with the university’s sizable and ever-growing young alumni population. Having expanded to 35 members since its humble beginnings, the Council is comprised of Elon alumni who graduated within the past 10 years.
