A Message From Dean Barbara Johnson
Sixty years ago, our institution embarked on a journey driven by a commitment to excellence, innovation and the betterment of our students and community. The visionaries who laid our foundation could scarcely have imagined the remarkable achievements and enduring legacy that would follow. Today, Perimeter College stands as a testament to their foresight and dedication.
Perimeter certainly has witnessed tremendous growth and transformation over the last six decades. From our modest beginnings on the Clarkston campus to our position today as a leading college at GSU, our journey has been marked by countless achievements, both big and small. Our 60th anniversary is a celebration of our past and an affirmation of our ongoing commitment to access, academic excellence, innovation, quality teaching and student success.
We invite you to join us for the festive events and activities that faculty, staff and students designed to commemorate this milestone occasion. We also welcome your well-wishes and partnership as we embrace future successes as Atlanta’s gateway to higher education.
