International Students Have an Advocate in Eunyoung Rhee-Murphy

International students have a new advocate—and expert guide—at MMC: Eunyoung Rhee-Murphy, who came on board this semester as the College’s assistant director of international student services. She’ll be a key resource for international students from the moment they apply, helping them get their Form I-20, which proves that an international student has been admitted to a full-time program of study, obtain the all-important F-1 student visa, and navigate life in the U.S.
