Excited about Abigail's internship!

We’re excited to welcome Abigail Crane to the PEP family as our Community Engagement and Advocacy Intern this fall! Abigail is a sophomore majoring in Educational Studies at Furman University and is passionate about education policy and advocacy.

She traveled to New Zealand and Australia as part of Furman’s “International Perspectives on Public Education” May Experience course this spring. The class visited a variety of public and private schools and colleges throughout the two countries during their three-week visit.

Abigail is a native of Lebanon, N.H., and loves reading, hiking, camping, and baking sugar cookies. After completing her studies at Furman, she hopes to go onto graduate school to pursue a degree in educational administration or education policy.
