IMPACTING THE LIVES OF STUDENTS When I started my internship at .ING Media in London, I had no idea what I was in store for.

Completing my internship abroad gave me the confidence to think I could take on anything that comes my way, but I have to admit, it was not until I carried two suitcases and a backpack on public transportation through central London that I learned for a fact that I really can. However, I could have never done any of this if it were not for those who helped me financially. Receiving a scholarship from IES Abroad lessened the weight of the financial burden traveling tends to be, and I will forever be grateful for the help I received.

Meet the Douillards: NANTES HOST FAMILY TO 53 IES ABROAD STUDENTS Since its founding in 1965, homestays have been a cornerstone of the IES Abroad Nantes program. Although the focus of the program has changed from Mathematics and Engineering to French Language and Literature, the integral part of homestays has remained a constant for students throughout the decades.

In honor of our 50th anniversary in Nantes, we take a look back Above: Mme Douillard and Eugénie in Nantes in 2015.

MILESTONES The constant presence of American students also enriched the life of Mme Douillard’s granddaughter, Eugénie Fouré, who was born in 1981.

STUDENTS REMEMBER:

Whenever Eugénie visited her grandparents’ house growing up, there was always an American student present who, she says, “seemed like a true member of the family.” From holding her as a baby to playing with her throughout childhood, the students intrigued Eugénie at all stages of her life.

In 1996, after hosting 35 students, Mme Douillard took Eugénie on a grand tour of the United States to visit nine of her American daughters.

Spending a week with each, they toured historical sites and sampled the local cuisine of each region before moving onto the next. By the end of the trip, they had visited the entire span of the United States

A “Good” Idea LAUNCHING THE JANE GOODALL INSTITUTE CHINA ERIKA HELMS, BEIJING 1992-93 After studying abroad in Beijing in the early 1990s, Erika Helms went on to help found the Jane Goodall Institute China, where she served as Executive Director from 2006-2010 and currently sits on the Board of Advisors.

When Erika first arrived in Beijing in 1992 for her junior year abroad, China was still a very closed society. Only three years after the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, interactions with Chinese students were limited. “We weren’t able to study with Chinese students…and [they] had very restricted access to our dormitories and vice versa,” recalls Erika.

As a result, it was hard to establish lasting friendships with locals. But that didn’t stop Erika from absorbing every moment of her year in Beijing with IES Abroad, whose program was located at Beijing Foreign Studies University (Beiwai). From a 30+ hour cross-country train ride to visit ethnic Tibetan areas to navigating the bureaucracy of everyday life, Erika took in all that China had to offer while perfecting her language skills.

PLANNED GIVING

Leaving a Legacy: Alumni Write Their Next Chapter From fond memories with new friends to trying times in a foreign culture, an international education impacts personal and professional lives in ways unforeseen. Whether it marked the launch of a career, the start of a lifelong love, or the broadening of horizons—study abroad is a transformational experience. Looking back on the unique role study abroad played in their own lives, alumni are writing their next chapter through planned gifts to benefit future IES Abroad students.

A DREAM FULFILLED Even before she headed off to college, Deborah Schuler (Durham 1973-74) dreamed of studying abroad. It was also a dream held by her mother who had to forgo the opportunity due to lack of funding, but who sought to make it a reality for her daughter—changing the course of her life. “I grew up, grew confident, and more openminded,” says Deborah. As a result, she knew she wanted a career that would take her overseas. After completing her MBA, Deborah launched a successful career in international finance that allowed her to work around the world from Singapore to London to Hong Kong. Reflecting on the impact study abroad has had on her personally and professionally, Deborah recently announced a $1 million bequest to support scholarships for future IES Abroad students. “With this bequest and my other donations to IES Abroad, I hope to let other students realize their dreams.”

IN LOVING MEMORY When Steven Streich (Vienna 1971-72) left his small town in Texas to go to Vienna, the only thing he was sure of was that he was going to a very different place from where he grew up. The Cold War was raging, the Iron Curtain surrounded the western half of Austria, and Vienna was a faded beauty of a city. During the year that followed, Steven says, “I became an adopted member of my Austrian family, learned pretty good German, traveled extensively throughout Europe, and met my partner of 38 years. Since then, my entire life has unfolded in the shadow of that one remarkable year. It has been endlessly fascinating and rewarding.” In loving memory of his late partner, John van Kleeck (Vienna 1971-72), and so that future students will have access to the same opportunities, Steven has made giving to IES Abroad a priority through a recurring monthly donation and by including IES Abroad in his will. “I’m not rich, and there is no dearth of worthy causes, but if I can help one student experience what we did, it will have been well worth it.”

cultures, languages, and relationships.” By naming IES Abroad as a beneficiary of her life insurance policy, the Rev. Kapurch is paying it forward so future students in need of financial support will have access to opportunities abroad like she enjoyed. “IES Abroad played such a significant role in my life.

As I reflected on what I wanted my legacy to be, I wanted to be sure that I gave something back to this organization which did so much for me.”

GIFT OF RETIREMENT PLAN ASSETS Naming IES Abroad as a beneficiary of all or a portion of your 401(k), IRA, or other retirement plan after your lifetime is typically the most tax advantaged way to establish your legacy through your estate. It allows you to make a gift from the most highly taxed assets, leaving more tax-advantaged assets for family.

CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY (CGA) Establishing a CGA provides supplement income for life for you and/or your spouse with steady payments that are partially income tax-free. The residual of the annuity then benefits future students. The rate is set by the American Council on Charitable Gift Annuities based on an individual’s age and is generally significantly higher than the rate of interest paid on most CDs. The current rate established for a person age 76, for example, is 6%.

INTERNSHIPS

REFLECTING ON A SUMMER INTERNSHIP IN ROME After studying Italian throughout high school and college, Olivier FrancoisPoncet (Rome, Summer 2014) embarked on a rewarding internship in the Press and Communications Office at the Fondazione Adriano Olivetti, one of the oldest cultural institutions in Italy. Together, Olivier and his supervisor, Francesca Limana, worked on creating educational and publicity materials to promote the foundation abroad. By the end of the summer, Olivier had a new outlook on his future career path and was considered a valuable member of the foundation’s team. Below, Francesca and Olivier reflect on their experiences last summer:

Barcelona

Steven DelVecchio, 2006 Spring – Steven has been working in international education for the last six years, currently as the Senior Assistant Director for International Admission at Fordham University. In this position, he is responsible for the recruitment and counseling for several international regions for the university’s undergraduate programs.

Unfortunately, one of these regions is not Europe.

The work travel has, however, allowed him to do some personal travel. He toured the Middle East for Fordham in April and stayed in the region for an extra two weeks to visit Petra, Jordan, and Israel. None of this would have happened without the exposure to other cultures he gained while in Barcelona. Aside from a tour of Niagara Falls on the Canadian side and a cruise excursion in Mexico, Steven’s study abroad was the first time he left the U.S. He did not have a passport before that semester and now that passport is full of stamps and visas and has had to have pages added.

Kevin Donofrio, Spring 2007 – Kevin and Margaret Lenz Donofrio, Barcelona, Spring 2007, met on the IES Abroad Barcelona program and recently got married on March 21, 2015. They met on the first day of the program during the introductory bus tour of Barcelona. After the program, Kevin and Maggie continued to date long distance as they finished up school. Following graduation, Kevin got a job and moved closer to Maggie. Kevin says, “It’s quite possible we would have never met if it weren’t for our study abroad experience together.

We certainly look back on our time in Barcelona as a very special event and still tie it into our life back at home … IES Abroad has a special place in both of our hearts, as does the city of Barcelona where we met—and we will always think of those times as being truly incredible. We haven’t been back yet, but are planning an anniversary trip to celebrate the 10 year mark of meeting over there and can’t wait to return!”

Freiburg

Diane Lightburn Vollum, 1978 Fall – Diane is currently working in IT at a large printing company after having worked for several years for a German-owned firm as a translator and marketing communications manager. Diane’s experience in Freiburg underscored and heightened her love for travel and appreciation for other cultures. She has continued to travel and has been pleased to provide overseas experiences for her two children. On a side note, Diane married an alum of the Vienna program.

She sends greetings to her fellow Freiburger classmates.

Christine Purtell Deblock, 1989 Fall – Christine went on to get a Masters degree in German at the University of Illinois. A few years later she got a degree in Applied Linguistics and taught English as a Second Language for several years. Christine currently lives in Salem, OR, with her family. She is still good friends with many of the people she met in Freiburg and always encourages students to consider studying abroad.

Hayne Cope, 1995 Spring – Since studying abroad in Freiburg, Hayne attended the Master of International Business program at the University of South Carolina and then began working at BMW in 1998. As of this update in 2015, he is currently on his third international assignment in Munich (his 2nd home!) with his family. Hayne has not been back to Freiburg but would like to, especially if any other class of 1995 folks were there.

London

Mike Schaengold, 1980 Spring – Mike joined the Washington, DC, office of the law firm of Greenberg Traurig, LLP (“GT”) as a Shareholder. Mike is the firm-wide Co-Chair of GT’s Government Contracts and Projects Practice, and he will also continue to specialize in U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (e.g., patent) appeals and U.S. Court of Federal Claims litigation. GT has over 1,800 lawyers in its 36 world-wide offices.

Lynn Seldon, 1982 Spring – Lynn published a novel called Virginia’s Ring. It is the story of two cadets at the Virginia Military Institute, which he took a semester off from to experience IES Abroad in London.

Madrid

Joseph McArthur, 1986-87 – Joseph graduated from Luther College in Decorah, IA, in 1988 with a BA in Spanish and also earned an International Studies Certificate. In 1992, he earned an MA in Spanish from Middlebury College which had him in Madrid for the 1991-92 academic year. Then he spent three years teaching beginning and intermediate Spanish at Luther College. Joseph went on to spend time working in a middle school ESL program, work as an interpreter in a community health center, and for an independent contractor for a short time. Then he began a career in federal law enforcement and spent six years as an Immigration Inspector at the Port of Entry in Calexico, CA. From 2002 to the present, Joseph has been with the INS and one of its successor agencies (CBP) within DHS as a Senior Immigration Inspector/CBP Enforcement Officer. “I have had numerous opportunities to travel abroad, both professionally and personally. I owe all of the success and lessons learned to the year with IES Abroad in Madrid. Gracias!!!!”

Andrew Yandell, 2009 Fall – Andrew fell in love with Spain in Madrid. Five years of savings later, he started his own company to share his passion for Spanish culture. Andrew imports and distributes natural Spanish wine in California as Trumpet Wine. Business is going well, and he gets to go back and visit often. He says, “There’s a new generation of young Spaniards working to recover their grandparents’ culture of food and wine. El pueblo español never ceases to amaze and excite.”

Paris

Sam McQuade and his wife, Maryvonne, at the 50th anniversary celebration at the inaugural IES Abroad Nantes Alumni Weekend in April 2015.

“ About one-third of my class of

1967-68 attended the reunion in Nantes [for the 2015 Nantes Alumni Weekend]. Seeing those classmates again after all these years sent waves of memories coursing through my mind. We all lived so much that year: learning and studying in French; our travels throughout France and Europe; the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King; the student riots in May 1968 that shut down France for some weeks. And for me, above all, it was meeting and falling in love with Maryvonne; we were married in Angers in December 1968. For me, another reunion highlight was the announcement of the Sam McQuade Endowed Nantes Scholarship in Memory of Mme Suzanne Hugues (who was the Institute Directrice). I am most proud that this scholarship will aid other students to discover the wonders of France and the French language.

”

— Sam McQuade, 1967-68 Linda Bollivar, 1987 Fall – Linda’s semester in Nantes has had a long-term impact on her life. Her husband was an exchange student in Australia between high school and college, and thanks to their positive experiences abroad, they decided to host international exchange students. They have hosted six high school exchange students in all, each for a full academic year.

Linda’s study abroad experience also helped prepare her for a new position as the program director of the Multicultural Leadership Institute, a non-profit in Bloomington, IL.

Fátima Santamaría Hoger, 1976 Spring – After her semester abroad, Fátima graduated from college, married SGT Sam Hoger and became an Army wife.

They have three children and four grandchildren.

They lived in Texas, Louisiana, Germany, Panama, and in Alaska since 1992. Fátima pursued a career as a registered dietitian and now does consulting.

She has been back to Paris four times since her IES Abroad days and continues to love the French people and the French language. She looks forward to a few more visits in the future.

Paula Norbert, 1982 Spring – Paula lives in Kennebunk, Maine with her husband and two children, after having lived and worked for years in the Boston area. Paula has worked as a college chaplain and works in ministry now. She has such happy memories of Paris and travels in Europe and her daughter, now 13, loves all things French. Paula hopes to travel to France with her family in the next few years.

Emily Hancock, 1989 Spring – In 1990, Emily graduated from Kenyon College with a major in French. In 1992, she completed her Masters in French language and literature from the University of Virginia. Since 1992, Emily has been teaching English in Toulouse, France.

Quito

Molly (Mary) Friend, 2009 Spring – Six years after her transformative semester in Quito, Molly is now managing high school-aged exchanges to and from Ecuador. Through U.S. State Department funded programs, Mary will be bringing U.S. youth to Ecuador this summer and bringing a group of Ecuadorian youth to the Houston area this fall.

Rome

Michael Edmondson, 2013 Spring – After studying abroad, Michael enrolled in a dual degree MA/ MSc program in international and world history at Columbia University and the London School of Economics. While abroad, IES Abroad helped Michael get an internship at the American Academy in Rome where he helped archive museum material and some of that work inspired him to continue on and study history at the graduate level. As a result, Michael has most recently presented a paper entitled “Crusade Finance Reform in the Emergence of a Western European Economy.” He is about to finish at Columbia and move to London to start at the London School of Economics. In summer 2015, Michael interned at the U.S. Department of State in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs. He also received an Alliance Fellowship from Columbia University to conduct research in Bermuda for his thesis entitled: “The Isle of Devils: The Joint-Stock Origins of Bermuda.”

Michael says, “Study abroad and the opportunities it provided—especially in Rome—only heightened my interest in history and the inspiration of some of my teachers, especially Gianni Ponti, showed that it was possible to make history a lifelong pursuit.”

Tokyo

Carly Mendoza, 2008 Fall – In the seven years since her study abroad experience in Japan, Carly has become a high school Japanese teacher so she can give her students the same amazing experience that she had. Each summer, Carly and a colleague take high school students from Arizona to Japan for two weeks with a one-week homestay and school exchange component. Many of their returning students are excited to study languages in college and to return to Japan via a program like IES Abroad.

Additionally, she works as a local coordinator for the Laurasian Institution, where her role is placing high school exchange students from Japan into homes in Arizona. “Without my study abroad experience with IES Abroad, I would not have considered becoming a Japanese teacher or becoming involved in study abroad and exchange programs myself. Thanks!”

Vienna

Charles Woodbeck, 1958 Spring – The exhilaration of shared academic and life experiences with a fascinating cohort ignited a lifetime interest in travel, education and public service. Charles’s first career was with the military, including the Pentagon, U.S. Ambassador to NATO staff. During eight years abroad Charles had a wonderful opportunity to meet and work with people in diverse cultures—Greek and Vietnamese languages to add to his German and Spanish. After an MA and JD, his next career, as an attorney with the State of Ohio, was rewarding. Now, after 26 military moves, Charles and his wife are enjoying a rewarding post-career life as doting grandparents.

Last summer, Katy visited the IES Abroad Vienna Center with her 16-year-old daughter and had a great time reliving all the memories and showing her all of her favorite places.

Randall Hopkins, 1988 Fall – Randall is currently living the dream in Walla Walla, WA, where he operates a small family vineyard and winery. It was while abroad in Europe that Randall started drinking wine, and from that point onward, he was hooked.

He holds very fond memories of Vienna and his travels in Europe. Randall is still in touch with a few other IES Abroad alumni as the relationships that were formed there are lifelong. While he has not been back to Vienna since studying abroad, Randall looks forward to the day when he can take his wonderful wife and kids to show them a friendly, historical, and enchanting city. Randall would love to hear from fellow alumni as well as wine lovers!

A leading figure in the field of bioethics, John was known for his research on assisted suicide, public health ethics, theories of global justice, rationing of medical care, and social disparities in health conditions and care. Appointed by President Barack Obama in 2010, Professor Arras served on the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues up until his death.

He was also a founding member of the Ethics Advisory Board of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He is survived by his wife, Liz Emery, two daughters, a brother, a sister, and five grandchildren.

As an adult, Janice received her MA from Indiana University and was the Civic Youth Theatre Director where she taught classes and directed plays.

She also taught seventh and eighth grade at St. Henry’s School. Janice and Paul traveled extensively to various countries, often staying for extended periods of time.

William (Bill) Duffy (Freiburg 1969-70) – Bill passed away in Germany in October 2014 after a long-term illness. The year of study in Freiburg at Albert-Ludwigs Universität was pivotal to Bill’s life. He was a native of Philadelphia and received a degree from La Salle University and completed graduate work at Drexel University and the University of North Carolina.

However, Bill’s junior year in Freiburg changed the course of his life. After working briefly at the University of Kentucky, he returned to Germany and embarked on a career in the publishing industry. Bill spent more than thirty years at the firm of Otto Harrassowitz in Wiesbaden, spoke German like a native, and was conversant on any aspect of German culture and history.

Bill was cherished by his Freiburg classmates as a dear and loyal friend of 45 years.

ANNUAL GIVING REPORT

Passport to Giving

Dear Alumni, Donors, and Friends: You continue to overwhelm us with your generosity and support. In 2014-15, you demonstrated, yet again, your belief in the power of study abroad and IES Abroad’s mission of delivering premier study abroad and internship programs.

Together with your support, we raised nearly $2 million in new gifts and pledges, including planned gifts. This is amazing! You are amazing. You generously gave 12% more in gifts received than the previous year. Several of you also told us about the exciting legacy you are planning through a planned gift to IES Abroad. Thank you.

Your generosity is truly an investment in changing lives and developing global leaders. Like many of you, the students whose lives you are investing in will use their study abroad or internship experience to launch their life’s work.

You make it possible for IES Abroad to provide muchneeded supplemental financial aid to many students who otherwise couldn’t afford this transformative experience. Currently, one-third of our students rely on IES Abroad aid to make study abroad possible.

Without this additional assistance—without your help in funding need-based aid—many of these students wouldn’t have made study abroad a reality last year.

Whether contributing to a specific scholarship fund or the IES Abroad Annual Fund, every dollar you contribute goes directly toward the $2.5 million in scholarships and grants IES Abroad awards each year.

Through the Honor Roll of Donors, we celebrate your generosity and pay tribute to you. Between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015, more than 1,100 of you made a gift and more than 500 of you were first-time donors. You play a critical role in changing lives through our programs. Photographed at left, are just a few of the students whose study abroad dreams became a reality in 2014-15 due to your generosity.

On behalf of all of us at IES Abroad and the students whose lives are transformed because of your

2014-15 IES Abroad Scholarship recipients

demonstrated commitment to study abroad, thank you.

Sincerely,

FISCAL YEAR 2014-15 July 1, 2014–June 30, 2015

“ I think we learn a lot about ourselves by experiencing contrasts.

Therefore, one of the greatest achievements of the study abroad experience is self-discovery. I came away from my semester in Salamanca with a much clearer idea about my future and many of the skills I would need for that journey. In the context of most people’s lives, there is no better opportunity to undertake this type of learning than through study abroad. IES Abroad provided an excellent structure for that experience and thereby gave each of us a greater chance to explore. I have given to IES Abroad because it is a sure bet for positive change.
