For more than 20 years, the Blessing of the Athletes has been a meaningful part of the start of the academic year at Elms, bringing our campus community together to pray for the health, safety, and well-being of our student-athletes.

This year, each student-athlete received a medal and prayer card as a reminder of the community that stands behind them.

Do you remember taking part in the Blessing of the Athletes during your time at Elms? 💚

For the second year, Elms College first-year and transfer students gathered outside historic Berchmans Hall for The Longest Table - a shared meal designed to bring the college's community together.

Through conversation, storytelling, and plenty of laughter, students had the opportunity to meet new people, share their experiences, and build connections.

A new Elms tradition we’re happy to see continue! 💚
