2023年9月11日，上海宏润博源学校外方校长、升学指导老师和班主任共同组织高年级学生积极参与了备受瞩目的美国大学展。

On September 11, 2023, the foreign principal, admissions office teachers and class teachers of Shanghai Hongrun Boyuan School jointly organized senior students to actively participate in the American College Fair.

活动当天，来自30所顶尖美国大学的招生官齐聚一堂，迎接了来自上海各校的学生，为学生们提供宝贵的交流机会，帮助他们拓宽学术视野，更加深入了解和明确未来的求学方向。

On the day of the event, admissions officers from 30 top American universities gathered to welcome students from various schools in Shanghai, providing valuable networking opportunities for students to broaden their academic horizons, gain a deeper understanding and clarify their future study directions.

活动在WLSA上海学校宝山校区举办。宏润博源学校的师生们踏入体育馆，热情地与30所美国顶尖大学的招生官面对面交流，积极寻找着适合自己的“梦校”。招生官向同学们分享了各个学校的独特之处，帮助同学们更深入地了解自身学校特点。展位前人潮涌动，同学们和家长们倾心倾听，积极互动。

The event took place at the WLSA Shanghai School Baoshan Campus. Teachers and students from SHBS entered the gymnasium with enthusiasm, engaging in face-to-face conversations with admissions officers from 30 renowned American universities, actively seeking their 'dream school.' Admissions officers shared the distinctive attributes of each school, aiding students in gaining a deeper understanding of each school's unique qualities. The booths buzzed with activity as students and parents listened attentively and interacted with great enthusiasm.

大学展搭建了一个交流的平台，让同学们能够与招生官面对面交谈，了解各个大学的学术项目、研究机会、校园生活以及招生计划等信息。此外，招生官们还耐心解答了同学们提出的问题，并与之分享了不同大学的独特之处，并针对个体差异为同学们提出宝贵的建议。 

A platform was created for students to talk face-to-face with admissions officers and learn about each university's academic programs, research opportunities, campus life, and admissions plans. In addition, the admissions officers patiently answered the questions raised by the students, shared with them the unique features of different universities, and provided valuable advice for students on individual differences.

这次大学展及招生官中国行由InitialView发起组织，各地多所国际学校承办。宏润博源学校作为承办方，帮助同学与大学的招生部门进行了充分交流。不仅拓宽了同学们的视野，让他们对有了更深入的了解，也启发了同学们的升学思维，为他们提供了一个成长的契机。

This college fair and the admissions officers’ visit in China were initiated and organized by InitialView, with several international schools from various regions hosting the event. SHBS as one of the organizers, fully communicated with the admissions departments of the universities. The college fair not only broadens the students' horizons and gives them a deeper understanding of the schools, but also deeply inspires the students' thinking about further studies and provides them with an opportunity to grow.

除大学展外，宏润博源外方校长Chris于9月14日至16日前往东莞参加了与InitialView联合举办的第十一届融贯东西大会，其间参与多个美本教育相关话题的研讨会，与顶尖大学的招生官互动，并主持了一场座谈，探讨美国最高法院裁定禁止基于种族因素进行招生对中国学生的影响。会上，来自中国多个城市国际学校的升学指导与来自阿姆赫斯特学院、罗切斯特大学和杜兰大学的招生官一起讨论了美国大学招生看重的多元化特点以什么方式能获得中国学生共鸣。

After the college fair in Shanghai, Principal Chris traveled to Dongguan to participate in the East Meets West conference, held in conjunction with InitialView, from the 14th - 16th of September. Along with participating in numerous sessions and engaging admissions representatives from leading colleges, Chris moderated a panel discussion on the impact of the US Supreme Court’s decision limiting the use of race and admissions, and exploring the potential impacts this might have for students from China. Joined by colleagues from Amherst College, the University of Rochester, and Tulane University, college counselors from around China discussed how best to translate US institutional priorities related to diversity in ways that resonate with students in China.
