Our Periclean Journey

The Periclean Scholars program at Elon University is the only one of its kind at the undergraduate level in the nation. Students from different academic areas of study spend three years learning about humanitarian aid and practicing it with partners on the ground. Based on the shared and individual experiences of the Cohort of 2016, Our Periclean Journey dives deep into how the aid world works from partnerships to money and conflict resolution. Through their reflections, they offer ways that future cohorts and other students of development can create sustainable and effective change to solve the world's most pressing problems.
