Senator Pileggi's 2006 Student Leadership Forum
On Friday April 28, 2006, I hosted my third annual Student Leadership Forum entitled "Student Guide to State Government -- A Closer Look."
More than eighty high
school students from across the 9th Senatorial District convened at
Widener University in Chester, PA, to discuss topics such as
education, healthcare, crime and punishment, and the legislative
process.
The event was an
overwhelming success, as you will see in the photographs below.
My staff and I look
forward to next year's event.

Senator Pileggi opened
the program by addressing the students, encouraging them to ask
questions of the panelists.

higher education for today’s students.

During the
Understanding the Legislative Process portion of the program,
students discussed how an idea becomes a law. |

Between sessions, Senator
Pileggi spoke with students from Chester and Delaware Counties,
learning their opinions on the program. |
