We sadly announce that Pahoua will be leaving her position as assistant director in the Office of International Student Services (OISS). She will be leaving St. Thomas to be the first recipient of the Minnesota Public Television Fellowship with Twin Cities Public Television (TPT) to work in their marketing department. We are excited about this new opportunity for her and wish her the best in this new stage of her professional career.

Her last day will be Friday, March 23. OISS has organized a reception for Pahoua on Thursday, March 22 from 3:00 to 4:30 pm in the MHC Fireside Room (St. Paul campus). A student reception will take place during the end of the GMSA meeting on Thursday, March 15 due to the spring break schedule.

She wanted everyone to know she sincerely enjoyed her time at St. Thomas and will miss working with everyone.

Congratulations and a big welcome to our new Fall 2007 mentors!
