The Periclean Scholars Class of 2017 is back and better than ever! Over Winter Term, our cohort traveled to all corners of the globe, from India to Australia to Ethiopia. But now we have returned and are ready to continue our initiative to address global issues, especially in our region of focus, Namibia.
We began the first day of our spring semester by catching up with our classmates, as many of us had not seen each other for 2 months! Then, we discussed pressing matters, including our syllabus and the induction for the Class of 2018 Pericleans. After a few words of motivation from our mentor Carol Smith, we broke into committees to further go over the syllabus and our goals for the semester, both personally and on the overall class level.
To end our first day back together, we rejoined as a group, making some final points to close out the period. We have quite of few goals for this semester, including hosting our first fundraisers, deciding on an issue of focus, and starting to establish relationships with local partners. The Periclean Scholars Class of 2017 has rejoined and is refreshed, ready to get rolling with our work this semester.
