On May 18, former INT student, Yexis Hechavarria, gave the student address at the Northern Essex Community College commencement ceremony. “When I arrived here, I realized that my life had drastically changed. Now that I was in a new country, I had to start from zero with a language that I could not speak and a new culture," she told the audience. Yexis, who graduated with an Associates of Science Degree in Biology, aspires to be a medical doctor because she is fascinated by what she calls “the miracle of life.” “What draws me to the medical field is the miracle of life. Our bodies are so complex that it’s a wonder we exist!”
Yexis was also the recipient of the prestigious Leewood Realty, LLC Sustainability Scholarship in 2018. She plans to transfer to Merrimack College and major in Biochemistry. Congratulations, Yexis, from your INT family!

On April 11, 52 INT students participated in a luncheon on campus with 18 Upper School students. This event was part of the INT-USA Transitional plan, which allows INT students who will potentially transfer to the Upper School next school year to gain awareness in regard to the programs offered on campus, as well as engage in conversations with USA ambassadors (former INT students) about the challenges and supports offered at Upper School.
The luncheon, led by School Culture Specialist Armani Fiato and Dean of Students Carlos Cordero, allowed USA ambassadors and INT mentees to participate in team building activities, discuss assumptions versus reality at Upper School, as well as celebrate the achievements of former INT students. At the end of the luncheon, ambassadors and mentees exchanged contact information and enjoyed some tasty food and refreshments. The next phase of the transitional plan is Shadow Day, when INT students will have the opportunity to shadow USA students for a whole day!
