Corinne Weeks dropped out of high school. She’s 17. And in a few weeks, she’s graduating college. This Loveland native’s next chapter is even more surprising. She now has to choose between nine Ph.D. programs for chemical engineering at elite universities, including Ivy Leagues. Oh, and each of those schools offered her a full scholarship, plus a housing stipend – worth more than $2.3 million in total for four years. Corinne attended Milford High School until her sophomore year at age 14. She had good friends and was playing on the water polo team, but her classes weren’t challenging enough. So, she left Ohio and enrolled in the Program for the Exceptionally Gifted at Mary Baldwin University in Virginia. “I felt like it was the place I was meant to be,” Corinne said. “I could start on my college degree right away and take all the classes I wanted to.” She’ll be graduating in May with a 4.0 GPA after three years at the women’s college at MBU.

Dinner parties benefit childhood cancer program Turner Farm and Whole Foods Market will present the first annual ShareA-Plate Cincinnati, a collection of citywide, community-hosted dinner parties with the mission of raising awareness and funds for Cincinnati Children’s Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute Build-It-Bites program, beginning the weekend of April 27-29. “It’s just having dinner with friends. Anyone, including individuals, organizations and restaurants, can volunteer to host a Share-A-Plate event which can be an intimate dinner party, brunch, picnic or even a Happy Hour with hors d’oeuvres and cocktails,” said Annie Ilyinsky, Turner Farm board member and Share-A-Plate co-chair. Ilyinsky said the events can be as simple or complex as the hosts/hostesses want them to be.
