Killer's Older Sister Works For State Department Contractor Chosun.com The older sister of Virginia Tech shooter Cho Seung-hui works for McNeil Technologies, a contractor for the State Department in a reconstruction project in Iraq. Three years her brother’s senior, Cho Sun-kyung graduated from Centerville High School and went to Princeton University in 2000. After completing the undergraduate course with a major in economics in 2004, she returned home to work in Virginia and lives with her parents. Headquartered in Springfield, Virginia, McNeil Technologies provides information management and analysis, language services and program assistance to customers, mainly U.S. government agencies like the departments of defense and energy. A colleague of Cho said she is on indefinite leave to overcome the shock of learning that her brother killed 32 people in the U.S.’ worst campus shooting spree. At college, Cho took part in Princeton’s International Internship Program and talked in the university’s weekly bulletin about her internship experiences, one of five interns featured in the bulletin’s Nov. 24, 2003 edition. Cho also took a three-month economics internship in the summer before her senior year at the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok. Using her experience as an intern in the State Department's International Labor Office in the summer of 2002, she studied working conditions in Thailand. Cho recalls her shock at seeing young Burmese girls manufacture garments and porcelain in sweatshops on the Thai-Burmese border. The experience was so significant that she changed the focus of her senior thesis to a more labor-related topic after returning to campus. She described the internship as “the most amazing three months of her life.” In the Princeton Organization, Sun-kyung volunteered to help young people suffering from trauma after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Monday’s events have dealt a devastating blow to the American dream of a woman who seems to have done everything right. |
