Prospective Student Overnight - 2008

2008 hosted the largest Prospective Student Overnight in the program's 22 year history. Over 170 accompanied the 38 talented young ladies representing 18 states that spent the night in the dorm and attended classes with current PEG students the next morning.

Mahala Burn, PEG graduate of 2007 and currently completing her fellowship program at Yale University at age 18, was this year's keynote speaker and stressed the importance of fit in the program.

To all the students and their families who attended this event, thank you for making it the rousing success that it was. All the faculty and staff who interacted with the visiting students recognized their talent and ability.

If you have not yet visited the program, then please feel free to call the PEG Admissions Office and set-up a visit, Monday-Friday, 8:30am - 2:30pm.
