After that, she will become an elementary teacher and support children, especially whose second language is English. Before she graduates, Illy would like the IT family to know that what impressed her the most while working here is the reliable teamwork and warm work environment. She is very grateful to be a member of such a kind, determined and proficient team.

Best of luck in your future endeavors!
So, graduates, this may be the end of this chapter, but you have a whole book left to write. Remember that life is all about choices and each choice, good or bad, will bring you closer to the place you’ve always wanted to be. Congratulations Class of Fall 2018!
