The May Periclean (2026)
In the May Periclean, we honor Hampshire College’s civic legacy, share key takeaways from the 2026 Engaged Scholarship Consortium, and reflect on 25 years of bold ideas that have reshaped campuses and communities. Plus: an invitation to the Civic Story Lab closing program, a May Community Conversation, thought leadership from across the network, and what we’re reading right now.
What the Early Years Made Possible
By 2006, Project Pericles’ founding institutions were deep in the shared experiment of building civic engagement programs without a shared model. What they created in those early years helped set the standard for what civic education in higher education could look like.
