CHESTERLAND NEWS Girl Scouts Not ‘Just Having Fun’ Russell Girl’s Letter on ‘Sexist Comment’ Under National Spotlight By Cassandra Shofar cassandra@geaugamapleleaf.com A 12-year-old Russell Township girl’s recent letter to the editor titled “Sexist Comment” has gone viral, garnering national attention and even brought her to New York City last week for a network television interview. The letter, which appeared in the Geauga County Maple Leaf newspaper July 19, expressed Girl Scout and West Geauga student Julianne Speyer’s disappointment at an announcer’s comment during the Chester Township 4th of July parade. The announcer — on a grandstand located at the north entrance to West Geauga High School and whose identity has not been confirmed as of Aug. 6 — offended Julianne when he labeled the Boy Scouts as “future leaders of America” and then said the Girl Scouts were “just having fun.” “I found this comment very sexist and patronizing,” wrote Julianne, who had been marching with Girl Scout Junior Troop 77192 behind the Boy Scouts in the parade. “I would appreciate it if you would help me to let other people know how much this kind of thing happens and how bad it is. I feel it is an insult to both girls and women of all ages. This kind of thing happens way too See Letter • Page 6
Julianne Speyer’s original letter to the editor (top) sparked a social media frenzy that got picked up by a number of national outlets and celebrities, including George Takai (right). Julianne is pictured at left during a televised interview with CBS News.
Both Russell Park Boards Place Levies on Ballot By Ann Wishart ann@geaugamapleleaf.com After the Russell Township Citizens Park District Commissioners voted unanimously Aug. 2 to place a 0.25-mill, five-year levy on the Nov. 6 ballot, board Chairman Roy Podojil said he hopes township residents won’t be confused when they go to the polls. Another park levy will appear on the same ballot for Russell’s probate-court-appointed Russell Township Park District — also called
the 1545 park district after Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1545 — for 0.5 mills. Both levies are additional, which means they do not exist now and taxpayers will not be eligible for any discounts that would be attached to renewals of older levies. The CPD 0.25-mill levy would yield about $66,430 per year at 100 percent collection and cost the owner of a $100,000 home $8.75 per year, according to the Geauga County Auditor’s office. The 1545 park board’s 0.5-mill
levy would yield about $132,860, if passed, and cost the owner of a $100,000 home $17.50 per year, according to the auditor’s office. The two issues are not so much about the cost to homeowners as much as a referendum on which board residents want controlling their parks, said Podojil. “This would bring the park district back under the control of the people,” he said of the CPD’s levy action during the meeting Thursday. If the CPD does things residents
don’t like, homeowners can vote for a new board of township trustees who can appoint a park board to do what residents want, Podojil said. Geauga County Probate Court Judge Tim Grendell appoints members of the 1545 park district board and he has changed the membership on that board several times since he came into office. The 1545 park board dates back to 1984 under ORC Chapter 1545, which put the county probate judge See Levies • Page 8

Galiardi’s Hair Talk Proudly Hits 50-Year Mark By Cassandra Shofar cassandra@geaugamapleleaf.com With a half-century of haircuts and chitchat under its belt, Galiardi’s Hair Talk in Chester Township not only continues to thrive on experience, but is primed to be around for at least another 50 years. Owner Bill Galiardi — who started the business in 1968 in a two-chair barbershop across from his current location — recently took a glimpse down memory lane. “I kept looking at this old wreck of a building across the street,” he said, referring to
his present location at 8595 Mayfield Road. “After encouragement from my mom and dad, I ended up buying the building. My father, Joseph, was an excellent carpenter, worked nights so he could work on the building during the day. After a year, the building was completed and I was cutting and styling in my present location.” When asked why the name “Hair Talk,” Galiardi said it just made sense since all he ever thought or talked about was doing hair. “I have always tried to excel at everything See Galiardi’s • Page 9

Mary Faragher Waterman, left, of Russell Township, presented a certificate recognizing Christina Becker, a recent West Geauga High School graduate, as recipient of the Kit Faragher Memorial Scholarship – Geauga County July 30 at Welshfield Inn in Troy Township.
West G Grad Receives Kit Faragher Scholarship Victim of 9/11 Leaves Annual Legacy of Learning By Ann Wishart ann@geaugamapleleaf.com Recent West Geauga High School graduate Christina Becker, of Russell Township, was a toddler on Sept. 11, 2001, when the Twin Towers in New York City were attacked and destroyed. That tragic event took the life of Kit Faragher, who also grew up in Russell Township and attended West Geauga Schools. Her death initiated a legacy that will help Becker pay for her first two years at American University in Washington D.C., where she plans to study environmental public health. Becker was awarded a certificate proclaiming her to be the recipient of the Kit Faragher Memorial Scholarship – Geauga County at a dinner at the Welshfield Inn in Troy Township July 30. Presenting the certificate was Mary Faragher Waterman, vice president of the Kit Faragher Foundation and a resident of Russell Township. Many Faragher family members and Becker’s family attended the event. The $10,000 scholarship, spread over two years, is the result of fundraising by the foundation, headquartered in Colorado. Every year, three scholarships are given to Colorado graduates and, for the last three years, one to a Geauga County graduate, Waterman said. “Christina is our first West G recipient. We had 31 apply from Geauga County this year,” Waterman said. Although Becker earned a 3.8 GPA, Waterman said the scholarship is based more on the applicant’s similarities to Kit revealed in an essay and through an interview. When it came time for her interview, Becker said she was on a school trip to Alaska, so a teleconference was arranged.
She is the third scholarship recipient from Geauga County. In 2015, Lucas Fulop, of Cardinal High School, was the first and in 2016, Julia Lombardo, of Newbury High School, was the second. Fulop planned to attend the Univeristy of Akron and Lombardo was accepted at the University of Mount Union. Information sent to high schools across the county said the scholarship honors enthusiasm for life. “Kathleen ‘Kit’ Faragher was a woman full of life, much loved by family and friends. Her contagious enthusiasm touched everyone she knew, at work and at play,” it reads. “(The foundation) honors her memory by awarding scholarships to students who display the qualities that made her such a light in our community.” At the time of her death, Faragher lived in Montrose County in Colorado. She was visiting New York City for a two-day conference on the 106th floor of the north tower when it went down, Waterman said. She worked for the Janus Capital Corporation in Denver and told Waterman six months before she went to New York City she had been having premonitions and nightmares about a terrible event. Faragher loved to travel and spent her senior year of high school in Boca Raton, Louisiana, which is why she didn’t graduate from West G. But the family is firmly rooted in Geauga County, Waterman said. Over the years, generous donations, support from the Janus Corporation and fundraising have allowed the scholarships to grow in value, she said. Online articles reveal the Montrose community supports the foundation by attending a lavish lobster dinner annually.

Chester Government Update The July 19 Chester Township Board of Trustees meeting began with an approval of minutes, followed by a discussion by Road Superintendent Mike Farrell about drainage work on Winchester Valley and the potential purchase of salt through the Akron Community University Education Purchasing Association (CUE). Farrell commented that the number of work orders completed by the road department had already surpassed 2017’s total and he was proud of the efforts by the crew. Residents on Laser Drive were at the meeting and questioned why their concrete driveways, as part of the reconstruction and resurfacing of Laser Drive, were not being replaced with concrete. Chairman Radtke explained it has been the policy of the township and incorporated in the project design by the Geauga County Engineer’s Office to replace driveways with asphalt. There was discussion that if the residents wish to have concrete driveways, they could consider paying the difference. This will be explored further. Up to $8,000 was approved for repairs to the 2007 Sutphen engine. The vehicle is currently out for repairs due to being struck by a passenger vehicle. It is additional necessary work to help sustain the vehicle for the 20-plus years of expected service. The township’s road mechanic will also perform some additional repairs in-house to save the township money. Funds of $2,047 were also approved for snow tires for Chester Police Cruisers with Kolsom Tires. A typographical error in a prior meeting motion was corrected relating to a police renewal levy that will be on the November 2018 ballot. A motion to place a fire department
renewal levy on this November’s ballot was also unanimously approved. Discussion continued regarding the memorandum of understanding with the Chester Park Board as Chairman Radtke asked for the motion to be tabled until some questions with legal counsel were answered. A notice was received from the Department of Commerce Division of Liquor Control informing trustees that all the permits to sell alcoholic beverages in township will expire Oct. 1 and if there were any objections to renewal, trustees should provide them. Neither the trustees nor the police chief were aware of any issues or complaints. Trustee Radtke explained the issues discussed at a recent Geauga Trumbull Solid Waste Management Committee meeting. Approximately 40 people attended, including waste haulers, representatives from the Ohio EPA, the manager of sustainability from Giant Eagle and a number of elected officials. China has stopped accepting overseas plastics, so the market for these materials has been drastically reduced, making the quality of recyclables more important. Participants discussed the issues of education, people dropping off trash at the sites and the contamination of the mixed recyclable stream. Plastic bags are considered a contaminant in the mixed recyclable stream. The plastic films can be recycled at the local Giant Eagle. An executive session was held at the end of the meeting regarding compensation and also to consider the dismissal of a public employee with no action being taken.

from page 1 much and it is not OK at all.” Julianne went on to say she has always been taught if she thinks something is unjust, to change it. “So, this is how I am making a change,” she wrote. “Thank you for listening to me and I hope you can help me.” The Kiwanis Club of West Geauga did not return multiple calls for comment, however, parade organizers did issue the following statement, as reported by Cleveland 19 News: “There was an unfortunate misunderstanding of two unrelated comments. The announcer is a volunteer and made an observation that participants were enjoying the parade, with no disrespect intended.” Julianne and her mother, Jennifer Speyer, were reached briefly while walking through Central Park in New York City last Tuesday afternoon — the day before their interview on the Megyn Kelly TODAY show. Jennifer said after the parade, Julianne and her friend were in the car talking about the announcer’s comment and Julianne kept saying she wanted to do something about it. The next day, the girls were in sewing camp and one of Julianne’s friend’s mom sug4/3/2018 gested she write a letter to the editor. “She didn’t know what it was, so when she got home from sewing camp that day, she went online and researched samples of letters to the editor. She wrote it out. She went online, researched the address and mailed it,” Jennifer, a former English teacher, said. “I was so proud of her. She wrote a rough draft, she indented her paragraphs and I was like, ‘Yes!’ I prepped her to not be disappointed if they don’t publish it. I was just so proud of her for doing it.” The letter not only got published, it spread like wildfire throughout social media.

Couple Celebrates 70th Wedding Anniversary Longtime Chester Township residents Sal and Helen Cicirello recently celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. To mark the milestone, daughters Nancy, Barbara, Joanne and Helen hosted a luncheon on July 28 at Punderson State Park for extended family and friends. Alexandra Morrison Smith, the Cicirellos’ American Field Service exchange student from New Zealand during the1968-69 school year, also attended. Sal and Helen were married in Wilpen, Pa., on Aug. 1, 1948, and returned to Cleveland post-honeymoon to their jobs at Case Institute of Technology and St. John’s Hospital. One year later, they began construction of their Caves Road home where they lived in the basement for a few years before they could build out their bungalow. The rest is history.
Speyer
from page 6 “I’m so thankful for everybody who supported me in all of this,” she said. “I couldn’t have gone this far without everyone’s support.” That support included an email from an enlisted female in the U.S. Navy, who told Julianne she was proud of her letter and when she’s older, the Navy would welcome her on its team, Jennifer said, adding that meant a lot as she has family on both her and her husband’s side who served in the military. Another email sent to the Maple Leaf from Nathalie Gamache represented a Canadian organization that comprises 7,000 members, all women physicians and leaders. “A letter published last week entitled ‘Sexist Comment,’ written by 12-year-old Julianne Speyer, attracted our attention and we wish to commend her for expressing an opinion we all share, and voicing it with such determination,” she wrote. “Although girls and women of all ages know they can strive to become and do anything they choose, we are still faced too often by archaic and paternalistic attitudes and actions, which makes it an added challenge to achieve our goals, grow to our full potential and help make this world a fair and better place for everyone. “The announcer of the Chesterland 4th of July parade obviously needs to be informed, as Julianne knows already, that while they are having fun, Girl Scouts (all over the world), are also growing into leaders. Michelle Obama, honorary president of Girl Scouts USA; Sally Ride, first American woman astronaut in space; and her Canadian counterpart, Roberta Bondar; Carol Bellamy, head of UNICEF; and Queen Elizabeth ll are just a few of the thousands of women leaders who have been nurtured by this preeminent or-
ganization whose mission is to ‘build girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place.’ “Obviously, this fine organization, and so many others, are succeeding in the likes of Julianne Speyer. Julianne, if you read this, know that we all stand beside you and thank you for publicly denouncing an attitude that is ‘not OK at all.’ By doing so, you have already become an exemplary leader.” Susie Greer, advisor for Julianne’s Girl Scout troop, said the girls were in the process of earning their Bronze Award, which focuses on making a change by taking action. “The whole notion is that women in service do things to make change in their communities and nation,” she said. In her interview with Cleveland 19 News, Julianne credited her mother for her courage to stand up for what she believed. “She’s always taught us to choose to be kind,” Julianne said. “You don’t want to judge people based on their sex. Maybe in the future, if no one beats me to the job, I’ll be the first girl president. I could scream the message that girls can be anything they want to be, they can be in charge someday. We can be the leaders of America.” As she geared up July 31 for her interview with former Cleveland weather forecaster Al Roker — who was filling in for Kelly Aug. 1 — Julianne reflected on the best aspect of this entire experience: “I think my favorite part would probably be that so many people have heard me and so many people are hearing my message.”

Russell Township Citizens Park District commissioners Roy Podojil, left, and Perry Howland would like to see trails developed through the Upper Chagrin Preserve, starting at the tree line behind them, so the public can make better use of the 140 acres on Beachwood Road. The board voted unanimously to put a 0.25-mil, five-year levy on the ballot to fund the township-controlled park board in November. Not pictured is member Ron Skrbin.
Levies
from page 1 in charge of appointing members. Ten years later, ORC Chapter 511 was passed, allowing township trustees to appoint park boards to control township park districts. Because Russell Township’s Issue 23 passed in November 2017 with 1,170 votes for and 728 votes against, trustees were able to create the 511 board (a.k.a. the citizens’ park district). Hence, there will be two park boards unless the 1545 board is disbanded. The exploratory committee for the CPD created by township trustees after the 2017 election included Erik Gerard, Betsy Rader and Podojil. Trustees appointed Podojil, Perry Howland and Ron Skrbin from a list of applicants to the CPD, but the board has no funds. It has been partially funded through a capital acquisitions levy, which expired the end of 2017. Scott Wayt, chairman of the 1545 park board, said he was appointed in November and doesn’t expect anything to change for two to three years even if the 1545 park district levy fails. The board has enough to maintain the 422 acres of township parkland it controls for several years, he said, adding maintenance costs about $40,000 per year. In addition, Western Reserve Conservan-
cy set aside $50,000 to pave a parking lot or create trails through the 53 acres of the Modroo Farm the 1545 park board bought several years ago, Wayt said. More than 93 percent of the park acreage owned by the township is in conservancy easements with WRLC and the 1545 park board will probably work to get the rest of the acreage in the conservancy, he said. The CPD’s Upper Chagrin Preserve consists of more than 140 acres south of West Geauga Schools on Beachwood Road east of the power line easement, Podojil said. It is land where the CPD would like to open up trails along the deserted Cleveland and Eastern Electric Railway, known in Geauga County as the interurban railroad. Skrbin said he camped back there as a Boy Scout and there are remains of a bunkhouse and clubhouse along the line built by a group called the Cuyahoga Indians as a weekend getaway for CEOs from Cleveland businesses. Howland said Thursday the board was formed when the referendum passed because voters were displeased with the 1545 park board, but the new 1545 board members — Wayt, Dennis Suhay and Donna Weiss-Carson — seem to be more popular among residents. However, that make-up could change any time depending on Grendell’s decision or other factors. “It’s up to the voters, now,” Howland concluded.

Galiardi’s from page 2
I have done,” he said. “From the first day of barber school, I knew I wanted to own a building in the town I grew up. Having a barber’s license was inspiring, but I wanted to further educate myself, so I began working days and going to school at night to acquire my cosmetology license.” Galiardi also had other motivations. “In my early education, I had been told that I wouldn’t amount to anything as I was always a clown-around,” he recalled. “In high school, I always loved sports and through that, with the coaches I had at West Geauga, I was never told that I couldn’t do something. Anything was possible if I worked hard enough. The hairstyling field was beginning to explode in the late 1960s and I wanted to be at the forefront of it.” Galiardi’s parents moved to Chester in 1952 when he was 6 years old, he said. He joked he first attended Chester School, but was transferred to St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Gates Mills when he needed “straightening out by the Notre Dame nuns.” “In ninth grade, I began high school at West Geauga. My mother, Theresa Galiardi, (later) encouraged me to attend Molar Barber College in Cleveland. After barber college, I married my high school sweetheart, Mary Louise Weed, another West Geauga alumni,” Galiardi said. “At this time, men’s hairstyling was starting to take off. The barbers’ union at that time offered many courses that I took advantage of. The more I took, the more I learned, culminating in me becoming a Roffler Sculpture Cut Franchisee. They were at the forefront of education. I got to train with Paul Mitchell, Daniel Rodant of Belgium, Guilian Maurice of France, Gigi Gandini from Italy, Heidi Marie of Germany, the Rusks, the Chadwicks, Marty Parsons, Luis Lungeras from Spain and countless others. Education was constantly at the forefront of my mind.” However, Galiardi encountered his first setback when his wife passed away in 1977. “I needed to re-kindle my interest in life and career, and continue to provide for my two young daughters, Stephanie and Audrey, who were only 2 and 3 years old at the time,” he said. “I won the award of Barber of the Year in 1976, and then asked a friend of mine, Joseph Piazza, (who won) Hairdresser of the Year, if he would train me for hairstyling competitions. After two years of training, I won my first hairstyling competition in Men’s Freestyle in 1980 in New York City. In 1981, I competed to be on the Ohio Hairstyling Team and we were successful in winning the first national title in Men’s Hairstyling ever for the state of Ohio.” Galiardi’s salon offers “state-of-the-art hairstyling,” color and highlighting as well as coloring to fit the client’s need, taking into consideration their lifestyles, careers and amount of time they have to do their hair, he said. “We also offer manicures, pedicures, wax treatments, eyebrow and facial waxing, hot stone therapy, gel nails and body texturizing,” he said, adding the salon plans to have a 50-year celebration in September. When asked why he stayed in Chester all these years, Galiardi said he had a “euphoric childhood” and he couldn’t imagine any other place he would want to spend the rest of his life. “I had opportunities to go to other areas, but could not imagine leaving the town I grew up in with all its great people and memories,”

he said. “The people are just on a different level than in other areas. My business has remained in Chesterland because that’s where I feel at home.” Galiardi said in the last five decades, work pride is the area that has changed the most in the business. “New styles come and go, but if you treat people genuinely and have pride in what you do to give them the best possible results that they deserve, nothing but good can occur,” he said. “Hairdressers today don’t seem to have the pride in their work. It’s more about how much they can extract from the client’s wallet. This is not Galiardi’s philosophy and never will be.” He added, “Every day when I get up, I say to myself that I will do the best possible job for my clients today. I have passed this philosophy on to my son and daughter-in-law, the future owners of Galiardi’s Hair Talk. When I was a young man, my father told me he never did a job that he was embarrassed to claim. I have tried to live up to this and have carried it with me ever since. Galiardi said his salon has always been about family. “All my children have worked in the salon at one time or another, as well as nephews, nieces, sisters and other relatives,” he said. “However, the only one that has chosen the hairstyling field as a career path is my son, William Jr. He has been with me for over seven years and is one of the best hairstylists that has ever worked for me. His work ethic is stellar. Even though he is my son, I am harder on him than I was with any other employee. His personality and willingness to please has me convinced me that Galiardi’s will be here for another 50 years.” Galiardi said the most rewarding part of the past 50 years has been getting to know people. “My clients have become my friends. I am rewarded by having taught and educated so many employees, many of who are still in the business today,” he said. “The most rewarding aspect is to be able to pass the business on to my son and his wife and watch them develop into successful business owners and hairdressers. I hope that he will have another 50 years of amazing relationships with clients. I would like to thank my past, present and future clients for their patronage, because without them, there would be no 50 years.”

The front entrance of West Geauga High School has recently been renovated to promote secure access to the building.
West Geauga Redesigns School Entrances
The summer break has offered the team at West Geauga Schools an opportunity to look at new ways to promote secure access to the school buildings. To that end, both the middle school and high school entrances for students and visitors will be renovated to enhance security. “Renovating these two entrances will provide our students with a more secure opportunity to enter and exit our school buildings. We will be better able to monitor and facilitate those who are visiting,” said Sean Whelan, director of technology and operations for the district. Construction at the high school is projected to be complete prior to the return of students in August. Renovations will be ongoing during the fall at the middle school.
West G Receives High Marks
Moody’s Investor Services recently released its annual comment letter on the West Geauga Local Schools. In the newest release, the district earned a high quality Aa2 rating. In its press release dated July 9, 2018, Moody’s commented, “The district’s financial position is robust and is relatively favorable in comparison to the assigned rating of Aa2.” The rating is based on a comprehensive financial analysis of the district and reflects the careful management of funds. A large part of the Aa2 rating earned by the district is based on the cash balance and fund balance in relation to the percentage of operating revenue. They are 48.6 percent and 53.6 percent, respectively, which is better than the U.S. median. Also contributing to the high quality bond score is a negligible debt burden and the high credit strength of the district. “The board of education and administration work to ensure that every dollar provided by the community is carefully accounted for and spent on the educational needs of the district,” said Karen Penler, treasurer. “We are pleased Moody’s has acknowledged our strong financial stewardship with this Aa2 rating.”
New Student-Centered Math Curriculum
During the 2018-19 academic year, the West Geauga Schools will be rolling out a new math program from grade six through Algebra 2. It is the second phase in upgrading the math curriculum, which was updated for the elementary schools last year through the adoption of a new elementary math program. Kathleen Cooey, math coach and chair of the Text Evaluation Committee that chose the curriculum, said, “Both of these programs are student centered curriculums that focus on deep understanding of mathematical topics (as opposed to rote memorization of a process that students do not understand). The curriculums make use of activities and discovery to make new topics more attainable for students of all skill levels.” The process to select this curriculum was a team approach. The new elementary curriculum, which will be going into its second year, was selected by Cooey, Assistant Superintendent Nancy Benincasa, and teachers Joelle Ehrbar, Debbie Lachman, April Lillash, Beth Phillips, Jen Schultz and Frank Vosicky. The secondary curriculum was chosen by Cooey, Benincasa, Assistant High School Principal Ron Dahlhofer, Assistant Middle School Principal Shawn Krippel and teachers Kelsey Fladda and Ethan Teare. Said Cooey, “The committees were selected from teachers who volunteered to be a part of the process, as well as administrators who work with the math teachers in each building. Each committee was intentionally selected to recruit members from each building involved, as well as a representative from the special education department.” During the process, the team started with a list of about ten programs, completed research, listened to sales pitches and vetted each program for content and curriculum. The committees also visited area schools to see both math programs in action before making a recommendation to the board to adopt each. In each case, the committee unanimously voted to recommend Bridges See Schools • Page 11

from page 10 (elementary) and College Preparatory Mathematics (secondary) to be used at West Geauga. One of the biggest outcomes that Cooey and the team hope to see is the ability for students to develop their analytical skills. She said, “We hope to build students into true problem solvers, who can approach a challenge with confidence, and the ability to try multiple approaches to reach a solution. These traits are ones we know are not only useful in math class, but also as a potential employee out in the community.”
WGEF Raises School Awareness
The West Geauga Educational Foundation recently participated in the Kiwanis Chesterland Independence Day Parade. The WGEF has been in operation for three decades to create options for innovation in education. Caise McHale, president of the WGEF, said, “We provide funding through our grants system to give teachers and others the ability to find new programs and creative ways to educate our kids.” In the last 30 years, WGEF has awarded almost half a million dollars in grants to not only teachers, but also parents, students, community members and administrators.
McHale said, “Participating in the annual Independence Day parade is a way for us to get the message out about our mission within the community. That’s to help our students get the best education possible and we enjoy working with the West Geauga staff to make that happen.”
Kickstart App Day
On Aug. 20, West Geauga High School seniors will have the opportunity to work directly with college admissions officers to fill out applications and write essays to give them the best possible opportunity to study at the university of their choice. Sponsored by the West Geauga Educational Foundation, this program is designed to support West Geauga seniors in making their essay stand out from the hundreds of other applications that college counselors read every single day. Caise McHale, the president of the WGEF, said, “We are so excited about this opportunity for our seniors. Having a college counselor review an essay can make all the difference in gaining entrance to the school they would like to attend.” Parents are welcome to observe the first two sessions of the day on essays as well as a simulated admissions committee exercise. Students who are interested in attending this one-time activity must register by emailing kickstart.wgef@gmail.com. There is a $20 fee to register.
