I feel grateful that I could experience life there, and hope Valpo can keep its niceness and peacefulness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Zijie Deng<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Graduated:<\/strong>\u00a0August 2015<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Degree:<\/strong>\u00a0M.S., Information Technology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Current Job: <\/b>Working as a software developer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Contact Email\u00a0<\/b>&#8211; <a onclick=\"window.open('mailto:\\u0061\\u006e\\u0069\\u006d\\u0061\\u0078\\u002e\\u0076\\u0061\\u006c\\u0070\\u006f\\u002e\\u0061\\u006c\\u0075\\u006d\\u006e\\u0069\\u0040\\u0067\\u006d\\u0061\\u0069\\u006c\\u002e\\u0063\\u006f\\u006d','_blank');return false;\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.write('\\u0061\\u006e\\u0069\\u006d\\u0061\\u0078\\u002e\\u0076\\u0061\\u006c\\u0070\\u006f\\u002e\\u0061\\u006c\\u0075\\u006d\\u006e\\u0069\\u0040\\u0067\\u006d\\u0061\\u0069\\u006c\\u002e\\u0063\\u006f\\u006d');<\/script><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best memories from your Valpo days: Beautiful and fun summer days!
