This is good news, and well deserved:

Elon is one of 81 institutions in 33 states that The Princeton Review commends and features in its forthcoming book, “Colleges with a Conscience: 81 Great Schools with Outstanding Community Involvement.”

Elon is one of four schools chosen from North Carolina. The other schools are Duke University, North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“A college with a conscience has both an administration committed to social responsibility and a student body actively engaged in serving society,” says Robert Franek, Princeton Review vice president “Education at these schools isn’t only about private gain: it’s about the public good.”

The biggest involvement I’ve had with Elon’s service programs has been with their AIDS relief work in Namibia in association with Project Pericles. I coordinated the implementation of an online store to sell the CDs and videos (DVD & VHS) that Elon produced in and about AIDS awareness in Namibia. The videos are overwhelmingly good, and trailers are online in QuickTime format: introduction to the series, A Measure of Our Humanity, and Faces of Hope.

The videos and CDs are available for purchase at the online store. All proceeds benefit AIDS relief in Namibia.
