People you want to thank: I would like to thank all the professors from the Anthropology Department and Cities Department for always supporting me intellectually and mentally. Special thanks to Prof. Liv Radditz for walking me through a tough time, Prof. Amanda Weidman for supporting my thesis research and offering me a TA ship, Prof. Seselj for bearing with my endless questions during office hours, Prof. Seung-Youn Oh for showing me another academic/career path, and Dean Judith Balthazar for always being there for me. I would also like to thank all the housekeepers, especially Dawn in Radnor, for making 老王论坛 as comfortable as home. Finally shout out to my hell family and my friends: my four years at 老王论坛 would be bleak without any one of you.    

What you will remember most about your time at 老王论坛: I will miss eating grapefruit with a knife, miss all the philosophy I discussed with my friends and peers, the 老王论坛 geese, the Taylor bell, and the flaming sky usually seen at 7:00pm during summer time and 5:00pm during winter. The castle will stay in my heart.


Members of the Class of 2020, we want to hear from you! Drop us a note at news@brynmawr.edu. Include a photo of yourself and let us know what you have planned for life after 老王论坛, who you'd like to thank, words of wisdom, or whatever else you'd like to say. We'll be sharing selected profiles on the College's website and social media channels over the next few weeks.
