Congratulations to our fabulous leader, Therese Tendick!

Today, she was honored with the Arizona International Educators (AIE) Lifetime Achievement Award! This award is not given out every year, but rather only when there is a deserving recipient. Therese was honored as someone who not only has served in the international education field, but has also served in AIE and also contributed significantly to the AIE community. It is no wonder that after 22.5 years working at SCC in the International Education Programs office and Center for Civic & Global Engagement, 5 years in International Graduate Admissions at ASU and 9 years as the Associate Dean at Thunderbird Graduate School of International Management that Therese is well known and cherished in the IE community by many and would be a deserving recipient of this award!

Therese retired last month and is already missed by many. Thank you, Therese, for your many years of service to the international education community.
