This week, we have been meeting in our committees to work on project planning. We also heard about Gloria’s thesis project on mass media narratives on poverty stereotypes in Appalachia, listened to student speakers for 350.org, and hosted guests from Mexico.

A HUGE congrats to Ross McFarland for receiving Periclean of the Year! Ross has always brought positive energy to the class and is actively involved and beyond supportive of everyone.

Upcoming Events:

• Grant writing workshop Saturday in Alamance 207 from 1-3
• Art installation by the Eco Art class during College Coffee on April 30th
• Applications for lateral entries for the Appalachia class will be coming out soon!

Members of our class took a field trip to downtown Greensboro Friday night to support Appalshop’s presentation at Elsewhere, a living museum that supports collaborative creativity. Or as Ross would put it, “Hoarding gone right.”

Elsewhere is gathering stories in preparation for the launch of StoryBank, an innovative storytelling platform. To launch the project, Appalshop, a multidisciplinary arts and education center in Eastern Kentucky with which our Periclean class has been involved, visited Elsewhere for workshop collaborations. What a lucky coincidence for our class!

This week, we reflected on the issues to which we are most dedicated and developed ideas for future projects.

Upcoming goals:

• Grant workshop on Saturday, April 13th from 1-4 p.m.
• Projects committee presentation
• Appalachian trip dates for 2013-2014
• Sustaining our legacy at Elon

Important ideas:

• Promoting community center
• Garden bins
• Computers/technology
• Solar generators
• Books
• Physical therapy (health clinic)

We are excited about the progress our class has been making and look forward to future opportunities!

One of our major class goals is to bring awareness about issues in Appalachia onto campus. Our Class planned a week of events, with the hope of facilitating change through education, featuring speakers who graciously traveled from Appalachia.
