To help youth voters participate in their democracy with confidence, Project Pericles joins hundreds of partners to celebrate National Voter Education Week (“NVEW”), a digital campaign to equip communities with all of the information they need to be informed, confident, and prepared voters.
Project Pericles today joined forces with dozens of higher education and student success organizations to announce a “Shared Commitment” to make “Democracy Learning a Top Priority for Postsecondary Education.”
Building on our Periclean campuses’ commitments to liberal arts education, civic engagement, and the humanities, Project Pericles is launching a new initiative: “Building Transformative Texts in Civic Education” supported by The Teagle Foundation and The Eugene M. Lang Foundation.
Project Pericles is saddened by the passing of long-time Board of Advisors member, Ambassador James C. Hormel. Ambassador Hormel served on our Board of Advisors since the beginning of the organization in 2001. He was deeply committed to civic engagement and advocating for human rights. Ambassador Hormel will be greatly missed. Project Pericles is delighted to announce that 10 faculty members representing 10 Periclean institutions were selected as part of Cohort III of The Andrew W. Mellon Periclean Faculty Leadership (PFL) Program™ in the Humanities. This PFL program connects the humanities with civic engagement in the classroom, on campus, in the community, and more expansively, in society.
Ten faculty members representing ten Periclean institutions were selected to teach new, innovative courses with a community-initiated project as part of Cohort II of The Periclean Faculty Leadership (PFL) Program in the STEM and Social Sciences, supported by The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations (AVDF) and The Eugene M. Lang Foundation.
Today, our nation focuses on the Chauvin verdict. This verdict reminds us that the unjust murder of George Floyd is part of a broader struggle for racial equity that has been happening for our entire history and continues. Project Pericles remains committed to the fight against systemic racism and inequality.
As we grapple with the insurrection at the Capitol, Project Pericles remains committed to supporting the essential civic engagement and advocacy work of our students, staff, faculty, provosts, and presidents. Our mission of graduating students to be engaged and socially responsible civic leaders continues to be critical to ensuring the health of our democracy and society.
The Students Learn Students Vote Coalition (SLSV Coalition) has awarded $20,000 to Project Pericles to launch a new program, the Periclean Voter Engagement Fellows (PVEF).
