Opportunities at MBC
As MBC students, PEG students have access to the many services
and opportunities available on campus.
Health Services
Counseling
and Psychological Services
The Counseling and Psychological Services office works closely
with the Director of PEG to provide the necessary support for
issues often unique to gifted students, such as perfectionism,
and to help guide PEG students through any emotional troubles
that may arise while away from home for the first time at such
a young age.
The Rosemarie Sena Center,
Career Development
The Career Development counselors at Rosemarie Sena Center are
available to PEG students to work on job-related issues that
are common amongst gifted students, such as multipotentiality,
and to provide support during the graduate school admissions
and job search processes.

multiple clubs, organizations, and traditions on campus. |

Opportunities at PEG
In addition to the opportunities offered at MBC, PEG offers
a variety of programs and events tailored to the interests, academic
abilities, and social and emotional needs of gifted girls. Programming
changes each year based on student interest. Below are some of
the many opportunities that occur regularly at PEG:
Boarding School Social Activities Committee (BSSAC)
As members of BSSAC, PEG students have the opportunity to participate
in a variety of activities with Virginia boarding school students.
Activities change each year, but usually include mixers, sporting
events, and trips to local amusement and water parks.
Dessert & Dialogues (D&Ds)
D&Ds have recently been incorporated into our program as
monthly sessions that encourage our students to explore the world
of ideas while getting to know professors and other members of
the community in an informal, yet intellectually stimulating,
setting. Through D&Ds, PEG students have the chance to meet
new people, discuss new perspectives on issues, and share their
opinions in an open, safe, non-confrontational setting. Past
and future D&Ds include: Urban Legends: Exploring American
Studies through the American Psyche, Medical Mysteries, and MBC
Super Bowl Advertising.
Creativity Nights
PEG students have the opportunity to exercise their creative
muscles as they learn creativity strategies such as SCAMPER
and De Bono’s Six Thinking Hats.
International Nights
Inspired by the Lebanese Fulbright Scholar residing in the PEG
Center, students have the opportunity to share their culture
and their culture’s food with other PEG students and
staff at this monthly event.
Squirrels on the Run
Incorporated as a wellness initiative, this informal group meets
for social running and walking. |
