It is free and open to students, EFSC faculty and staff, and the public.
Pegine is a best-selling author, award-winning businesswoman and advisor to U.S. presidents, Fortune 500 executives, women CEOs and generals and admirals.

She goes by her first name Pegine, joking that if it is good enough for Oprah, Shakira, and Beyonce, it is good enough for her.
