Additional comments My experience was one of the most memorable and best times of my life. At that time, there were very few females at the University and we felt privileged and honored to be a part of such a great University. As I said before, the program at that time taught us the leadership and responsibility we needed to make our careers successful. I have certainly succeeded in my career because of my experience from U.Va.
