Project Pericles Events Spring 015
Project Pericles is a not-for-profit organization that
encourages and facilitates commitments from colleges and
universities to include social responsibility and
participatory citizenship as essential elements of their
educational programs. Chatham University is a member
of Project Pericles and the following events were chosen
to highlight the programing our university offers that
promotes the Project Pericles mission. During these events
you will learn how to get involved in and influence government
and learn about the major issues affecting women’s civic status and
public leadership. Additionally, some programs offer current
pperspectives on research or public affairs, applied skill
workshops, or the opportunity to participate in
community events. Special thanks to all faculty who
volunteer their time as presenters, along with the
following programs for contributing programs to the
calendar: Center for Women’s Entrepreneurship (CWE),
Global Focus (GF), and Student Activities (SA).
Open to all Chatham community members. Register on My.Chatham
