The September Periclean (2025)

The September 2025 Periclean celebrates new beginnings across Periclean campuses as students return and the fall semester begins. This edition reflects on Project Pericles’ ongoing strategic planning process, a refreshed mission and vision, and the upcoming launch of our reimagined website. It also spotlights Civic Impact Assistant Jason Vadnos, announces the Fall 2026 grant cycle, and invites campus partners to the Blue Mountain Writing Retreat.
