Project Pericles

Periclean Scholars in the Class of 2010 collected money to build a health clinic that has garnered attention from the Ministry of Health.

Two young alumni grew their Periclean Scholar legacies through a program for social and environmental activists.

A new series aims to bring students, faculty and staff together to discuss current events and devise possible action plans for tackling social ills.

On June 29th Tom Arcaro, Director of Project Pericles, was an invited speaker at the quarterly meeting of Orange County civic leaders. His talk "Civic Engagement Pathways: The Periclean Scholars Model" led to a productive discussion about the role of higher education in preparing the next generation of civic leaders.

Two Elon University professors and eight students spent several days in Zambia late this spring to help Habitat for Humanity with building homes for orphans and vulnerable children impacted by HIV/AIDS.
