Only 4 days until the Summer Institute!  The planning team, led by Chris Pluta, has info to help you prepare for the SI.  We're looking forward to seeing you soon.

If you are flying:

  • For those of you flying to Philadelphia, you have the choice of either taking the train or a taxi (roughly $60) to Bryn Mawr College’s campus. More information can be found at: http://www.brynmawr.edu/campus/directions.shtml
  • If you choose to take the train from the Philadelphia airport, head towards Center City Philadelphia, and transfer at 30th Street Station to the Paoli/Thorndale/Malvern/Bryn Mawr line. Get off the train at the Bryn Mawr stop. The walk from the Bryn Mawr train station to campus is less than ten minutes.
  • The Airport line runs every half hour, and the Paoli/Thorndale trains run once an hour on Sunday.  To check train times, use the “Trip Planner” at:  http://septa.org/service/rail/
