Wishing you much success as the 16th President of Occidental College. So much to do, but many believe that you will take Occidental to the next level. Your leadership will help others continue to nurture and reveal Occidental’s exceptional potential.

Congratulations from Atlanta, GA
Dr. Elam, the class of '72 fought so hard to have administrators of color become part of the esteemed Oxy leadership. Heartfelt congratulations from Atlanta, Georgia!

Thrilled to be invited
Allan and I feel tremendously thrilled to have been invited to your inauguration. It was a huge pleasure to work for you at Stanford when you were VPUE, and we feel very honored to be a part of your presidential installation at Oxy.

Congratulations and best wishes
Congratulations and best wishes as Occidental's 16th President. You have already done a superb job thus far. Very few people in the world had to start their college presidency in a world pandemic. Your presidency can only get better and better.
