The staff of the Slutzker Center for International Services sadly bids "farewell" to Rika McKenna, who is leaving Syracuse after four years of work in international education at the SCIS. Rika joined us in 2003 as an advisor to International Students and Scholars, and in 2006 was promoted to the new position of assistant director for compliance in the office. She served as advisor to the Japanese Student Association and was a member of Phi Beta Delta, the International Honorary Society for International Scholars, and the International Center of Syracuse. Rika's husband, David, relocated to Pennsylvania in early 2007, and Rika is moving to join him there, together with their children, Thomas and Misa. She plans to continue work on her second Master's degree in Information Management and will do an internship upon settling into her new home. We will miss her very much!!! Please send her an email or drop by before Friday to say "good-bye" and wish her well in her new life in Pennsylvania.
