Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Early Entrance Program (EEP) of the Child Development Research Group (now the Robinson Center for Young Scholars) was created in 1977 by the late Dr. Halbert Robinson, a professor of developmental psychology at the University of Washington. The goal of the EEP was "to enable a small and carefully selected group of academically advanced middle school students to accelerate into post-secondary education at a pace equal to their intellectual development." From 1981-2000 the research group was directed by psychiatry and behavioral science professor Dr. Nancy Robinson.
