Q. Lastly, would you like to say anything to our readers (staff, students, others)
Mariah: Thank you for all your help and support all this years. I will miss ALL of you very much. Most of all I will miss the food, the laughter, the fun, the picnic, the outgoing for lunch and dinner, the activities and many more. It is hard to say in words but I hope you will show the same support to the new AR as you to me. Keep in touch and please do visit my office (when it is ready) anytime. :) Once again..will miss you all......
Kenny: Yes, of course! It has been a hell of a ride for us all. IM has been through a lot of ups and downs. But no matter how down we feel, we always manage to rise above it all and be the BEST among the rest. Thats because we are a family despite our differences in any ways.
Like the old saying goes: ALL for ONE and ONE for ALL. Cheeeers all!

On behalf of all the IM students, I would like to take this opportunity to say a very big THANK YOU to both Mariah & Kenny for all the work they have put into IM. You have certainly made IM part of what it is and we fully appreciate all the effort that you have made to make sure everything runs smoothly. We will certainly miss both of you very much. We wish you all the best in your new positions. Keep in touch k.
