Are you interested in working on an international development project? I am now holding interviews for the Periclean Scholars Class of 2011 (written applications are due March 21). For general information regarding Project Pericles check out: http://www.elon.edu/e-web/academics/special_programs/project_pericles/. An application form and more information about the Class of 2011 can be found at http://org.elon.edu/periclanscholars2011.
The class of 2011 will focus its efforts on a project in Sri Lanka. I am currently in Sri Lanka on sabbatical but would love to talk to you about the program and set up an interview with those of you who are interested. The time in Sri Lanka is 10 ½ hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, so the best time to reach me is from 10:30PM-12PM. You can call me at my Durham number (919) 403-7601 (Technology allows me to carry my Durham number to Sri Lanka)
You can also contact Dr. Tom Arcaro (on campus at 203 Holland House; arcaro@elon.edu, phone number x6442) if you have any additional questions about the Periclean Scholars program.
From Sri Lanka,
Dr. Crista Arangala
Mentor for the Periclean Scholars Class of 2011
