Taking place on a Scottish heath, circa 1000 A.D., three mysterious witches meet during a furious storm, stating their intention to speak with Macbeth, the Thane of Cawdor, who is wrapping up battle against an insurgency against King Duncan.The witches inform him of several prophecies, including the statement that Macbeth shall be not only King of Scotland, but also Thane of Cawdor. When Macbeth writes of these events to his wife, Lady Macbeth, she immediately begins to think through the paths upon which her husband must travel in order to gain the crown ultimately; she fears that he is too weak to pursue whatever means necessary to accomplish that ultimate goal.
COLLEGE OF WILLIAM & MARY
The Center for Gifted Education (CFGE) at William & Mary University (College of William & Mary), is a research and development center providing services to educators, policy makers, graduate students, researchers, and parents in support of the needs of gifted and talented individuals. Located in Williamsburg, Virginia, the CFGE has established an international reputation for excellence in research, curriculum development, and service. Several major grants, including funding from the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act, have provided significant support for the work of the Center. In 2012, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation awarded CFGE the funds needed for a summer residential camp for low income, high-ability children, for four consecutive years. In 2015, William & Mary alumni, Mike and Nancy Petters, through the Petters Family Foundation, provided additional financial support to the program. In 2016, the Petters Family Foundation has committed to fully fund the program for the next four years. Camp Launch is only the beginning of the Center for Gifted Education’s goal to bring educational equality to all gifted students.
