Senior Andrew Somers, recipient of a scholarship, shared his experiences at Elon, including study abroad trips and opportunities for leadership. “It’s not just a financial gift, it was a door opened and it changed my life," he said.

As a recipient of a scholarship to attend the university, she said she discovered her passion of encouraging other underrepresented students to go to college. “It not only gave me the gift of education, it opened up a world of opportunity," she said. “I hope to one day provide a similar opportunity to students.” Publicly launched in 2008, the Ever Elon campaign was an ambitious project to introduce during one of the worst recessions in the country’s history, according to Allen Gant, chair of the Board of Trustees. “What we need is more Elon graduates," Lambert said. According to Lambert, the university has seen firsthand the power of philanthropy to share the direction of the university. “We have great ambition as a university and together we are going to realize each and every one of them,” Lambert said. “We are going to take this university to where it belongs - to the national stage.” # AL DRAGO I Photoflrapher Ever Elon Co-Chair Allen E.
