Lifelong vegan Elwen currently has a 3.9 GPA in Molecular Biology (with an emphasis on Public Policy) at Pomona College (Forbes' #1 school in the entire US, ahead of Harvard and Stanford). Elwen's been accepted to grad school everywhere applied, including MIT. [Update - Elwen got an even more prestigious Fellowship in DC. 2023 update: earned a PhD in Economics.]

Since Pomona College's founding in 1887, Elwen is only the 13th person on the women's teams to letter in both cross country and track all four years (also earned eight varsity letters in high school). Not surprisingly, El2en made the league's All-Academic Team as well.

At Senior Appreciation this past weekend, the coach's word to describe Elwen was "stalwart" - loyal, reliable, and hardworking. Couldn't have put it better myself.
