Pierce Radius is the bi-annual magazine for alumni and friends of Franklin Pierce University. The name "Radius" was proposed by a group that worked with University leaders to help clarify and communicate the distinct value of a Franklin Pierce education. It was suggested that the University's impact was spreading out into the world, much like a stone tossed into a pond sends its ripples outward, with an increasing radius. The title "Radius" was embraced by the University community and alumni. Each issue of the magazine aims to reflect the University's vision to make significant contributions to global higher education while maintaining the personal attention and advantages of a small liberal arts institution.
