Welcome to Perkins Perspective Online, our e-magazine with updates and information on the Perkins community!
The new year marks a major transition at Perkins: the retirement of Dean Craig Hill, whose tenure at Perkins concluded on December 31, and the beginning of Bishop Michael McKee’s term as interim Dean on January 1. We have a report from Dean Hill’s retirement reception, with a look at the portrait commemorating his years at Perkins. Plus, a student profile, alumni/ae updates and more.
We hope you’ll enjoy this edition. Let us know if you have news you’d like to share.
