Eleanor Roosevelt College: Scholarship, Leadership and Service
“Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier. We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just one step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
ERC’s namesake dedicated her life to human, civil, and international rights and the world citizen-scholars at Eleanor Roosevelt College are building the courage do the same. For some, that means participating international service projects. For others, it means working with First Nation communities, interning with social justice nonprofits, or tutoring high school students.
Your generosity empowers these scholars’ dedication to international human rights. The Eleanor Roosevelt College Innovation Fund supports student-centered activities, like shared meals with faculty, that complement their coursework. Make a gift today to revolutionize what possibility means for ERC scholars.
