I want to give a big thank-you to our graduate student, Weijian “Michelle” Yan (Oral English Proficiency Program), on behalf of the OEPP staff. Recently, our testing coordinator left the university. Without hesitation, Michelle stepped up, taking over the responsibilities of our OEPT test sessions. She has gone above and beyond our expectations. She is always there for us when we need her help. Michelle, you are the greatest graduate student of all time. Thank you so much for all you do for our department. — Rochelle Hines (Oral English Proficiency Program)
