Cory Becker-Kim is the International Student Program director at Mounds Park Academy. He is an outstanding part of our warm, inclusive, and kind community.

“A lot of things drew me to MPA, but first and foremost I think the strong community and dedication of the entire community appealed to me and made me feel welcome from the moment I engaged about the role. But also, the inclusive vibes I have observed and experienced resonate with my personality and values.”

Before MPA, Mr. Becker-Kim was on staff at the College of St. Benedict/St. John’s University where he was the assistant director of admissions. In addition to general work in admissions, he worked with international student recruitment and retention. Prior to that, he taught English in China and then South Korea for almost five years. Combined, each of these roles have provided him with the global experience and diverse perspectives that will be so valuable to our international students, and our community as a whole.

At MPA, Mr. Becker-Kim provides daily support to our international students, manages their visa processes, coordinates a robust host family program, and so much more.
