We are sad to announce that ILSA’s long time Programs Director, Tessa Walker, will be departing shortly. As many of you no doubt know, Tessa has been the heart of the Executive Office over the last eight years. Under her watchful eye, ILSA has been able to deliver quality programs around the world in that time despite pandemics, conflicts, and the occasional snowstorm in Chicago. She has left an indelible mark on the organization and touched so many students’ lives. The entire Jessup community wishes Tessa the best as she embarks on the next chapter of her career.
