Earlier today, the Periclean Scholars Class of 2017 was reunited once again! (Well most of us were, as we have 10 members of our cohort abroad this semester in locations all around the world, from the bustling streets of China to the golden beaches of Brazil) Additionally, Annie Phelan returned to the group after spending the spring abroad in Europe!
The class itself began with stories from the summer. Highlights included backpacking trips around the country, enriching internships, and entertaining stories from summer jobs. Director Arcaro also stopped in to update the class on Periclean opportunities and on the program in general. Following this, we had a class-wide discussion about goals for the semester, selected class representatives, and worked to form our committees, committees that were then tasked with working on these goals. After our committee meetings, where each individual committee set particular benchmarks for the fall, we concluded the day with talks of potential fundraising events and other projects to pursue for the semester. Though there is much to accomplish, Tuesday’s class provided the framework for what will hopefully be an extremely productive semester.
Peace. Love. Periclean.
