Former Dean of Admissions from Bryn Mawr College Jenny Rickard came to China and held an information session in Shanghai on October 11, as well as one in Beijing on October 15, 2009. In Shanghai, parents and students gathered in a classroom at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music with Dean Rickard and current Bryn Mawr professors and alums. Dean Rickard, who is currently Chief Enrollment and Communications Officer at Bryn Mawr, discussed the unique academic and campus environment of Bryn Mawr and took questions from students. Dean Rickard and her colleagues later held a similar information session in Beijing for prospective applicants. In addition to assisting with these information sessions, Taurus Education also made arrangements for Dean Rickard and her colleagues to visit several key high schools in Shanghai and Nanjing. Taurus Education would once again like to thank Dean Rickard for sharing admission information with Chinese students and parents.
