Reason #9 to Support Periclean Scholars: Elevator Speeches!

In fall 2009, Director Tom Arcaro challenged each class to put together a 30 second answer to the question, "What is your class working on right now?" These answers are called elevator speeches, because they are short descriptions of our work that emphasize our value to others. They are quick sales pitches to get anyone - even someone you meet for the first time on an elevator - involved in the good work of Periclean Scholars.

Here are the videos from each of the classes that completed the challenge: 

Class of 2010 - Ghana (skip to 2:18 in the video for the actual speech.)

Class of 2011 - Sri Lanka (with a guest appearance by Smith Jackson, VP for Student Life and Dean of Students)

Class of 2012 - India

Please take the time to watch each class's interpretation of the elevator speech challenge.

The content in these elevator speeches is reason #9 to support Periclean Scholars.
