She holds a Ph.D. in language education and has been a counselor for the Honors Program since spring 2003. She loves hiking, chatting, and crawfish boiling. Her favorite quote is "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away."
	Ms. Mary I. Hicks, Program Director, UNO-Japan Mary spent 2 years in Japan teaching English many years ago. Little did she know that would prepare her to co-coordinate this program someday. She started her UNO career assisting Noriko Lastrapes in teaching Japanese in the 90's, and that led to her current position in the UNO Division of International Education. Mary's other duties include the direction of the UNO International Student Exchange Programs and the UNO Prague Summer Seminars. In her personal time, she enjoys reading, travel (of course!), making crafty stuff, and getting out of the city from time to time.
