Epyphane Girl mentoring program goes on college tour in Tallahassee: Nineteen students from three Hernando County schools spent spring break in Tallahassee on a college tour sponsored by the Epyphane Girl mentoring program. For some, it was their first visit to Florida's capital. For others, it was their first time networking with female executives and business leaders. The program, which has a chapter in Hernando County serving more than 40 students, is designed to promote positive character development, leadership, and career and professional development. During the college tour, students experienced campus life at Florida State University, Florida A&M University and Tallahassee Community College. The girls were also guests during a Celebration of African-American Women in Literature at FAMU. State Sen. Wilton Simpson made it possible for the students to tour the Senate floor and experience a live debate. The three-day trip ended with a banquet, where the students received awards and spent time networking with professional women in Tallahassee. Courtesy of Heidi Otway
