Hi,

Any Ladies attending the STEP Event at USCGA on November 4, 2006? I'll see you there if you are!

Semper P!

STEP at USCGA.

STEP will include participation in college-style lab experiments designed to give you a first hand account of what attending classes at the Academy is like. You will have the opportunity to conduct experiments in both our engineering and marine science labs under the direction of CGA faculty members. There will also be a special program for parents that includes a tour of campus and discussion panels with faculty, admissions officers and female cadets and officers.



Not sure you want to be a science, math or engineering major? Regardless of your intended major, as a cadet you will get a chance to take exciting classes in engineering, oceanography, and the sciences. Try it out and get a sneak peak at what lies ahead!

There will be a DVD on STEP. I will see if I can possibly get a link to it so that everyone can see it.
