The Periclean Scholars is about to enter its second decade with the induction of the Class of 2016 this April. Currently we have 153 alumni and 74 current Pericleans. Also included in our family are past Mentors, friends of the program, and, perhaps most importantly, a large number of both individual and organizational partners around the world.
As we have grown and evolved over the years, keeping all of the Periclean family connected has been quite a challenge. Various Pericleans and friends I have talked to recently all agree that we can do a mush better job with our “connectivity.” We communicate through email, Twitter, Facebook and elsewhere, but we all agree that we can take our level of communication -and hence our effectivness in keeping our partnershups and outreaches sustainable and vibrant- to a higher level. Hence, this blog.
The main purpose of this blog will be for it to be a “one stop shopping” place for all things Periclean:
If you are interested in being an author on this post, contact me, Crista Arangala or any of the current Steering Committee members. I will be monitoring the site to keep it organized, but we do ask all posters to “categorize” their posts appropriately.
Class schedule: The class will officially meet every 4:30-5:30 every Tuesday. The purpose of the class will be, hopefully, to keep the entire class up to date on what the different focus groups within the class are doing and other logistical sorts of things, not necessarily to do work. This means that most of our Periclean work will be out of class time, so we decided that it’s unnecessary to make a second meeting time since those who can’t meet on Tuesday will still be so involved in their focus group. We haven’t figured out the specific focus groups yet.
General updates:
-a student wants to come in and talk with us about her research on human trafficking in NC (Jessica Elizando….sp? sorry if I butchered that)
-Dr. Arcaro has possible ideas for us and wants to come in and talk with us
-possible partnership with an Elon student’s (Will Hemminger) family’s private charity in Haiti?
Tasks for the semester:
1. Identify partners both in Haiti and locally (what do they do? what do we have to offer them?)
2. Define work groups/assignments
(fundraising)
3. Create plan for next two years. (visioning, project goal/objectives, who can travel?)
4. 2016’s induction
Focus groups: (subgroups, main chairperson)

For those of you who weren’t in class, we are sending out a google doc to sign up for a group.
Conversational Creole: There is a person interesting in teaching Creole for 30-40 minutes each class. Dr. Warner is working on getting the ball rolling! Implications: class time for logistics will be shrunk, and class time may be extended. But our effort shows a lot about our commitment, and will also be very helpful for if (i mean, when) we go to Haiti. Perhaps we will get networking opportunities from it!
Summarizing last semester’s work to recollect and move forward:
Partners in Haiti: Shelby, Amy, Georgia
Partners in NC: Cat, Elaina, Rachel
A Word to the Wise from Dr. Warner:
-We won’t know the mistakes we’ll make or where we’re headed until we actually get there.
-Simples things can cause major ramifications. Human trafficking is a very serious and very sensitive topic, and we have to be careful about we proceed. People may respond in negative and maybe even dangerous ways.
-This is OUR Periclean class!
No class next Tuesday, but go to the Hunger Summit!
