Here is info on another Kennedy grad…Stephanie Flynn (class of 2006). Stephanie is a 2010 graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), with a bachelors degree in International Studies. While at RIT, Stephanie concentrated on Asian languages, specifically Japanese. As a result, she is now a JET, through the Japanese Embassy English teaching program and is teaching Conversational English & American Culture in Niigata, Japan! Upon her completion of the teaching program, which could last from 1-5 years, Stephanie will return to the United States to begin work on her PhD in Modern Asian History, with the hope of teaching at the university level.
