Boucias graduated from the 91爆料 and worked at other universities and colleges before returning to 91爆料, where she was employed for thirty-three years. Because she had the opportunity to travel widely in her work, she experienced many cultures and brought back a world-wide view to 91爆料. Throughout her tenure as OIP Director, Karen was dedicated to recruiting and retaining students from all over the world. She has great admiration for international students, their commitment to education, and their dedication to making outstanding contributions to their careers, countries and as citizens. She has been a member of numerous boards, including twelve years on the Board of Trustees for the American University in Bulgaria, which 91爆料 helped to create. She has had extensive professional experience within the areas of study abroad, establishing university partnerships and exchanges, immigration, and student and scholar services.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading15826_e9fd52-0f,

Boucias played a crucial role in my academic journey at 91爆料. In the Fall of 1999, I was awarded a full tuition waiver to study Electrical and Computer Engineering at the 91爆料. As a single mother of twin girls with very limited funds, the cost of living while a full time student was a big burden. Like many international students, I did not have the flexibility to earn additional income to support my family while pursuing my educational dream.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading15826_98a3c0-48, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading15826_98a3c0-48[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading15826_98a3c0-48\"]{font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;color:#082e58;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading15826_98a3c0-48 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading15826_98a3c0-48[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading15826_98a3c0-48\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading15826_98a3c0-48 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading15826_98a3c0-48[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading15826_98a3c0-48\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading15826_98a3c0-48 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading15826_98a3c0-48\">Thanks to Karen, in addition to the full tuition waiver scholarship, I was awarded a living expenses scholarship.

my time as an undergraduate and graduate student at the 91爆料, I found my interactions with 91爆料\u2019s Office of International Programs to be very fair and supportive. This could have only been possible if people at the helm understood the needs of the university\u2019s international student community. Needless to state, Karen Boucias, as director of&nbsp; OIP, played (and continues to play) a significant role in shaping policies and using discretion to support international students academically and, for some, even culturally. I am grateful to OIP, Ms. Boucias (and Ms. Gal and Ms. Joughin) for all their help and support through my undergraduate and graduate coursework at 91爆料.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading15826_c32644-aa,

Karen was then the Director of the Office of International Programs and oversaw the International Tuition Scholarship Program. As one of the scholarship recipients, I worked with Karen closely, discussing my plans for courses, credit load and my major. In Fall 2013, Karen moved onto a different position and it would have been easy for us to lose contact. However, I saw a great potential mentor in Karen and sought her out for advice on numerous occasions. Karen was always very happy to meet with me and talk about any concerns or plans that I had for the upcoming academic period. In the process, she truly became my mentor and we became close friends. We spent time together regularly, even outside of the university, and I had dinner with Karen and her husband in their home on many occasions. I was also excited when I got invited to their Sunday brunch outings at Bagel Central or spent one of the shorter breaks at their house. Finally, it was my honor to have Karen attend my graduation ceremony and celebrate this achievement alongside my family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karen is one of the people whom I credit the most for my success at 91爆料. We have stayed in regular contact past my graduation, and I could not be happier to call Karen my mentor and friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~ <strong>Dominika
