This was send out to all Faculty and Staff :

Colleagues,

I want to share with our entire Elon community the great news that Dr. Carol Smith, Associate Professor of Health and Human Performance, has been chosen as the Mentor for the Periclean Scholars Class of 2017- our program’s twelfth Class- with a focus on Namibia.

Being a Periclean Mentor is an extraordinary service to Elon and involves intense work with a cohort of students from a wide variety of disciplines who together seek to make a profound global impact.  This is a multi-year commitment pushes the faculty Mentor well beyond her/his disciplinary expertise.

The Periclean Scholars program depends upon the passion and commitment of dedicated faculty who become Periclean Mentors. Over the life of the program, we have had Mentors from most schools and many departments on campus, mirroring the diversity of faculty who teach GST 110, The Global Experience.
