Bryn Mawr College has launched a Spanish language admissions and financial aid website to help Latina and other Spanish speaking students and their families become more familiar with all that Bryn Mawr has to offer.
“The number of students applying to Bryn Mawr who identify themselves as Latinos has almost doubled over the last five years and we saw a 60 percent increase in Latina applications from 2008 to 2009. We wanted to make sure we were doing all we could to reach out to and support these students and their parents as they make the important decision about where to attend college,” says Director of Multicultural Recruitment Naté Hall.

Approximately 200 7-Eleven convenience stores in San Diego are testing a mobile marketing campaign through Dec. 31, 2009, where consumers can send a text message to receive free beverages, the company reported.

The promotion is limited to one free beverage per day, at participating 7-Eleven stores. 7-Eleven's mobile marketing test is supported by both general and Hispanic-targeted radio, outdoor and mobile advertising, while participating 7-Eleven stores will promote the test with bilingual point-of-purchase signage, per the company.
