The Center for America's Founding Principles exists to supplement Mercer University's excellent liberal arts program with a redoubled commitment to the foundational texts and ideas which have shaped Western Civilization and the American political order.
What's New
The Center is extremely grateful to Mercer Alumnus and former Trustee A.V. Elliott for his gift of $1 million. This gift will endow our annual conference, now renamed the A.V. Elliott Conference on Great Books and Ideas. Read the press release >
Opportunities
The Center’s programming includes an annual lecture series and academic conference, high school teacher and student workshops, faculty-student reading groups, and undergraduate research fellowships.
Summer Events
In the Summer of 2013, the Center will conduct two great programs for high school teachers. Our two-week campus program will take place in June (two sessions are available: June 2-14 and June 9-21). A brand new travel program in Florence, Italy is being offered in late June (15-28).
