Elmhurst University
Founders Day

— December 6, 2021 —

Thank you to everyone who helped make our Founders Day such a memorable event!

On December 6, 1871, the Rev. Carl F. Kranz and 14 students stepped off a train and went on to establish the institution now known as Elmhurst University. On December 6, 2021, we gathered as a community to celebrate the pioneering spirit of that first day in our 150-year history, our Founders Day.
