Elon Catholic Campus Ministry
THE STRATEGIC PLAN
In our 30th year as a student organization at Elon University, Catholic Campus Ministry entered into the process of creating a new strategic plan to guide the future of the ministry. With the primary goal to engage more of the 1,700 Catholic students on the Elon campus, CCM worked with students, faculty, alumni, parents, and benefactors to determine the areas to focus and improve.

The following initiatives are the result of CCM's new five-year Strategic Plan. Join us to spread the light of Christ!
