What an exciting day for ElRo! Our 11th and 12th grade students were lucky enough to have an assembly with Dr. Amy Gutmann, President of the University of Pennsylvania. It was so thrilling to have a higher education professional of such prestige visit our school and it was a great opportunity for our students to hear from such a fabulous speaker. Dr. Gutmann highlighted her hope that students can use college as a time to pursue their passions. She also discussed how important it is to seek out schools that are both high quality and affordable - a message I certainly support! (University of Pennsylvania, under her tenure, has been at the forefront of being generous with Financial Aid so that any admitted student can attend without needing to take out loans).
After the assembly, Dr. Gutmann was interviewed by Audrey C. (stay tuned to hear all about the interview). Many thanks to everyone from University of Pennsylvania for making today happen! I am so proud of our students and school!
