Foreword from President Lambert

Whether you participate in the governance of the University as a member of the faculty, staff, administration, student body, or Board of Trustees, what unites us is a vision of Elon University in which the quality of student learning experiences and the overall learning environment of the University are our central focus. Elon has a strong tradition of effective communication about the major issues facing the institution in any given year. The open dialogue and collegial spirit that we have fostered at Elon have directly impacted the University’s rapid ascent on the higher education scene.

The Elon University Faculty Handbook contains policies and procedures for teaching faculty, administrative staff with faculty rank, and support staff with faculty rank. Many members of the University community have assisted in editing this volume, and it is our hope that readers will find the Faculty Handbook a useful guide. Questions and suggestions are welcome and should be addressed to the Office of the Provost/Executive Vice President, 2200 Campus Box, jdawson9@elon.edu, or extension 6647.

Leo M. Lambert President
