The transition to adulthood is a milestone, a celebration, and a life-changing experience. At our spring Turning 21 gathering, we celebrated students’ journeys, and we honored those who have accompanied them along their way to adulthood.

Holi, the Hindu festival of colors and love, marks the end of winter and the arrival of spring. We gathered on the Academic Village Lawn to celebrate by throwing colored powder, symbolizing the earth’s return to color and life, and the triumph of good over evil. The celebration also featured crafts, food, kite flying, and additional opportunities to engage with holiday traditions.

Eid al-Fitr, following the month of fasting during Ramadan, celebrates the “Festival of Breaking the Fast.” Our Elon and surrounding Muslim community members enjoyed an evening of food, festivities, and community as we marked this joyful holiday together.

The next stop on our Spring '26 tour is Purim, which marks the survival and resilience of the Jewish community during a time of oppression and threat of massacre during the Persian period. This event celebrates diversity within the Jewish community and the Elon campus community and highlights reflections on minority experience through the lens of this Jewish holiday.

Lunar New Year is our next stop. Lunar New Year is one of the most important celebrations of the year among East and Southeast Asian cultures. This celebration marks the beginning of a new year, according to the lunar calendar. In partnership with APSA, the Truitt Center helps celebrate one of the biggest events of the year.

Our trip down Spring 2026 memory lane begins with the Ripple Interfaith Conference. This year's theme, A Recipe for Interfaith, was held on campus February 13-15. Led by Ripple co-directors Lauren Bedell '26 and Rocco Albano '26, participants explored the ingredients that make interfaith connections possible, both symbolically and tangibly. Make sure to stay tuned for information on next year's conference.

Congratulations Class of 2026! We are so proud of you. Numen Lumen: Senior Baccalaureate Reflection was the perfect way to kick off Commencement week, celebrating all the light you have bestowed upon campus. Our hope is that your light continues to shine bright, wherever it may lead.

"I want to wish you all a strong finish to the semester. The next few weeks will be full—grading, events, celebrations. To the seniors: new beginnings await you. And remember, mentorship doesn’t end when you leave. We are always here to continue the conversation," said Boaz Avraham-Katz, Jewish Educator and Instructor during the last Numen Lumen of the semester.
