Bienvenidos/Welcome back to campus
Pericleans,
As always, a few items:
1. I very much look forward to seeing everyone back on campus in the next couple weeks and reconnecting with all of the current Classes and Class Mentors. I will be looking for updates from all Classes soon:
- Class of 2015 Haiti, Mentor: Dr. Bud Warner
- Class of 2016 Honduras, Mentor: Prof. April Post
- Class of 2017 Namibia, Mentor: Dr. Carol Smith
2. My personal goals this year include further enhancing the academic rigor of the program, deepening both old and new partnerships, and working closely with a newly structured Steering Committee and the Class Mentors to provide support and guidance for the entire program. More about these goals will come in a pan-Periclean email.
3. In my summer email I suggested that all Pericleans read Letters Left Unsent. [Click on the link for a copy.] I will be organizing a discussion of the issues raised in this book early in the semester.
4. Finally, I want to thank Dr. Steve Braye, Mentor ’09 & ’18, for standing in as interim Director last spring while I was abroad in Costa Rica.
We have a big year in front of us as we move toward our goals making a positive impacts in our countries of focus!
Best,
Tom Arcaro, Director
