WiSH Admission Policy

The difference between science and the arts is not that they are different sides of the same coin even, or even different parts of the same continuum, but, rather, that they are manifestations of the same thing. The arts and sciences are avatars of human creativity."
~Mae Jemison First African-American female U.S. astronaut and a physician, scientist and teacher
