Good Evening!
This entry will be short and to the point because we (my husband and I) have a 3:00 AM wake up call for our flight to Rome – that’s about 3 hours from now Budapest time! Students leave at 8:30 AM and meet the mentors here at the hotel at 9:30 AM for their 1:15 PM flight to New York City.
At today’s closing ceremonies, medals and honorable mentions were awarded to many, many students. I think the number was around 170-180, but I can’t be sure right now.

Team USA earned 4 medals in the 40th IChO.
Jonathan Lee – Silver Medal
Yuxin Xie – Bronze Medal
Jenny Lu – Bronze Medal
Andrew Liu – Bronze Medal
Our students worked hard for this achievement. Everyone should be proud of them and join me in celebrating the their accomplishments.
I thank all of the students whom I have had the honor of working with these past 3 years. In addition, I must thank Roxie Allen, Jack Kotz, Will Lynch, and Owen Priest for all of their help and support as I went from 1st year mentor to head mentor of the USNCO. However, JL Kiappes has been a constant in my 3 years as mentor and I owe him heart-felt thanks because I really could not have done this without his friendship and commitment to students and the program.
Thank you everyone!
