Farewell
Finally, Ching Li, one of our international student advisors, is moving to
Indiana with her family.  Ching has spent 3 years here at UTA advising
students, and will be missed greatly by students and staff alike.  This is
her last week in the Office of International Education before she moves on
to new adventures.  We'll miss you, Ching!

Have a great week!
