2010-2011 International House Resident Directory and Addendum

he mission of International House is to enable selected graduate students and interns from countries around the world to live and learn together in a challenging and supportive residential community that builds lifelong qualities of leadership, tolerance, respect and friendship among individuals of all nations and backgrounds.

An independent, non-profit organization, I- House achieves its mission by daily interaction among its residents and other members through programs, facilities and residential life designed to foster diversity of thought and experience, and to prepare our residents to meet the challenge of an interdependent world.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Resident

Member:

It is my fervent hope that you enjoy this /nternational House Directory! \n addition to serving as a handy reference for our large and diverse community, it describes our mission or purpose, our 87 year history, our profile, our distinguished Board of Trustees, our World Council of Alumni and the endowed scholarship funds that are provided by supporters of the House to help resident members and achieve greater diversity. Perhaps most importantly, it is a keepsake of your participation in our |-House community. We know that former resident members save their Directory throughout their lives as a way of recalling their community life and prompting memories when contacting old friends. Inevitably, they are brought out at informal gatherings of alumni members for lengthy and enjoyable sessions of “whatever happened to...?” and “do you remember when...?” | often refer to the directories provided when | was a resident member at l-House during my graduate studies. It is for these reasons that we have continued to print the Directory rather than move it onto our website as we have done with many other publications.

The Directory is not a “year book” nor, since it is published each fall, a reflection of a year gone by. Rather, it anticipates a year to come and, significantly your future lives as I- House alumni and world citizens. We hope that you will find it useful throughout your residency to help knit our global community together, and that in the coming years, as you peruse its pages, you will remember with fondness your experience here, and be encouraged to contact an old friend or acquaintance, as well as support the House. Lifelong friendships and cross cultural interaction are at the heart of the l-House community experience, and this visual record —a “snapshot” of our community in 2010-11— forever preserves a time and place in our lives.

Midway through the year, an addendum will be published containing photos and information about resident members who arrive mid-term. In the back of the Directory you'll find printed the pledge, which is recited at the Candlelight Sunday Supper at the end of each academic year. This moving ceremony marks in an unforgettable way the passage of resident members from this unique community experience into your roles as global citizens. In the years to come, | hope that you will read these words again from time to time as a way of renewing your International House experience and its mission in your daily lives.

Sincerely yours,

Drnell < Cnse Donald L. Cuneo, President

On a frosty autumn

morning early in 1909,

Harry

Edmonds (pictured at left), secretary of the Upper

|

Manhattan Y.M.C.A., was

walking up the steps of

the Columbia

ary when he passed a-

Chinese

Universi

student

coming

down.

Edmonds

said

“Good morning,” and continued walking until he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the young man had stopped. “Thank you for speaking to me,” he said. “I have been in New York for three weeks and you are the first person who has spoken to me.”

Deeply affected.by this encounter, Edmonds and: his wife, Florence

invited a group of foreign students to their country home for simple suppers

of sandwiches

and

coffee. These gatherings

continued,

and in the winter of 1910-11, the Edmondses held the first series of

Sunday Suppers in Earl Hall at Columbia University.

The tradition of Sunday Supper continued from the opening of International House in 1924 until today. Held four times during the academic year, the all-house suppers celebrate the spirit of friendship and good will among the 700 residents from nearly 100 countries.

RESIDENT MEMBER GIFT CAMPAIGN EEE TUSSI ASS YD NGS

c

|-House community and to leave a legacy for all future members.

The Resident Member Gift Campaign, led by now alumni Pooja Merchant ’10 and Mitch Hayes 710 along with current resident Shannon Bishop, raised $10,543 including $5,000 in challenge grants from the I-House Trustees to establish an endowed environmental fund.

This endowed fund will be used to help the House reduce its carbon footprint by providing funds to make changes related to reduced electric usage, increased recycling efforts and other “Green” initiatives. The money will be invested and only a percentage of the income earned will be spent to assist the House in its Green efforts. The remainder of any income earned will be reinvested in the fund so that it can continue to grow. Assuming the fund earns income in 2010-2011; funds will be available to be spent in 2011-2012.

Three hundred seventy-one residents (53% of the House) and scores of friends, alumni and staff participated in the Campaign, donating gifts ranging from $1 to $300 with many more participating in fundraising events like the annual garage sale.

The Resident Member Gift Campaign, like Sunday Suppers and the All Nations Celebration, is an |-House tradition which is sure to endure and will benefit all future generations of |-House residents.

If you would like to get involved with the 2010-2011 Resident Member Gift Campaign, please contact Director of Alumni Programs Nicole Davidson at ext. 8425 or ndavidson@ihouse-nyc.org or visit us online at Attp://residents. ihouse-nyc.org/ RMGCHome.

Information about the status of past gifts may also be found on the website or by contacting Nicole.

International House greatly appreciates and proudly recognizes the hundreds of residents and other donors who generously supported the 2009-2010 Resident Member Gift Campaign. A list of contributors will be published at www.ihouse-nyc.org/honorroll.

you will join more than

65,000 remarkable men and women

hope you will stay in touch with |-House and your fellow alumni long into the future.

Once you leave International House, the Development & Alumni Relations Office offers several ways to help keep you connected to the House. The Alumni Online Community (www.ihouse-nyc.org/alumni) enables alumni to keep in touch with former l-House friends through the use of the directory, message boards, groups and blind email services. We also offer online mentoring, photo galleries and class notes. The World Newsletter, published twice a year, as well as our quarterly e-newsletter, will keep you informed of I-House programs and alumni activities.

International House, in part through its local and regional alumni chapters, also offers numerous

CANDLELIGHT PLEDGE

As light begets light, so friendship and goodwill are passed from one to another.

We who have come from many nations to live in one fellowship at International House promise one another to pass the light wherever we go.
