Project Pericles is a vibrant consortium of colleges and universities that promotes civic engagement within higher education. Building on the innovative vision of Eugene M. Lang, Project Pericles works in the classroom, on the campus, and in the community. Project Pericles is at the forefront of civic engagement and social responsibility in areas including faculty and course development, curricular coherence, and research into best practices.
We empower college students by giving them the tools they need to solve society's grand challenges: Climate Change, Economic Justice, Education Access, Immigration, Mass Incarceration, Public Health, Race and Inequality, and Voter Engagement. Project Pericles thanks our supporters and funders including: The Eugene M. Lang Foundation, The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, the Mellon Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, The Students Learn Students Vote Coalition, The Teagle Foundation, and Up to Us/Net Impact. |
