Introducing the Clarion West Class of 2025!

ByJae Steinbacher

We are delighted to welcome a new group of writers to the Clarion West family! Clarion West will be running virtually this summer, and we’ll be managing time travel over at least eight time zones for a group of 15 joining us from Sri Lanka, Germany, Nigeria, Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia (by way of Pakistan), India, and the United States.

We’ll be trying something new this year in shifting the format of Weeks 1 and 4 to offer more time for class bonding, instructor lectures, and R&R. (Learn more about the format here.) This cohort will have the pleasure of working with Maurice Broaddus, Carlos Hernandez, Diana Pho, Martha Wells, and Clarion West staff. We are so very excited to meet them.

Congratulations, Class of 2025!
