Lanterns
Since 1931, the Lantern magazine has brought the world of Perkins to your front door. The Lantern showcases the Perkins family on campus, in the community and around the world.
No limits: Students who are blind take on the mountain and more
"From the orientation and mobility lessons that take place in and around our own campus, to the transition programming provided by our partners around the world, Perkins is committed to the individual needs of every student. While academics will prepare our students for life, it’s the real-world opportunities that will truly allow them to live – to be prepared for the choices, challenges and rewards that turn a story of human existence into a lifetime of experiences." - Steven M. Rothstein, President, Perkins School for the Blind The Spring 2012 Lantern illustrates how Perkins' exposes students to real-world challenges, gives them a safe space to practice making choices and understand the consequences of these choices. More importantly, this issue demonstrates how these situations are as varied as the students themselves.
