he shares with the World Newsletter how his initial reaction proved justified. “This is the most difficult and complicated problem that I have ever undertaken in my life,” he says. “There are so many different constituencies, each of which have different objectives and so many political figures, each of whom believe that they should have a finger in the pie.” There is Mayor Michael Bloomberg who wants to see residential housing constructed on the site. There is Governor George E. Pataki and Charles Gargano, Chairman of the

to come we — the human race — will see the devastation that occurred on 9/11 as an unthinkable wound to all of us. We must resist the facile alternative of silence and instead tackle the festering issues that divide. We must consciously fight against ethnic or religious stereotyping and intolerance. In particular, at this juneture we must actively reject assumptions, speculation or harassment directed against Arabs and Muslims, or for

Residents Recount Summer Experiences

Daily headlines announce attacks and counterattacks, a hostage crisis and suicide bombings, a weakening Coalition government and newly-discovered terrorist ties that link several continents. Amongst International House residents are young professionals training and studying to become peacekeepers — in a terribly turbulent world. Two residents who

are studying at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs address this clash of ideals and political reality, academia and practice, and relate the one image that sustains them in their development and humanitarian studies — even with the knowledge that they will graduate into an often inhumane world.

Resident Member Profile Fall 2002 One hundred countries and 75 academic and training institutions are represented at International House for the fall semester. The most significant changes in regional representation this year are the decrease in the number of residents from Western Europe (97 from 122) and South America (25 from 42). Significant increases in representation include East Asia (129 from

109), Southeast Asia (28 from 18) and

South & Central Asia (63 from 57). In particular, there are more residents this year from Japan (40 from 31) and Korea (30 from

Phonathon Raises more than $50,000 for Campaign The number one reason people don’t make charitable donations is because they are not asked. Recently, a group of International House alumni, current residents and staff made sure that many fewer people would have that excuse. On October 16th and 17th, and November 13, twenty-three callers made over 1,000 telephone calls to |. House alumni and friends to solicit donations

in the Capital Campaign Phonathon.

_ The callers included alumni members Alexander Dake, Joan | Gregory, Filip Moerman, Marcus Molinero, Peter O’Neill, Harry Rosen, Anthony Spikes, and Robert Van Zwieten. Current resi| dent members were well represented by Julie Averill, Rainikka | Corprew, Peter Cronin, Kristin Flood, Jerome Halluitte, David Hamming, Haroon Hassan, Peter Heltzel, Amy Junker, Dan Levy, Albert Pulido, Vincentas Vobolevicius, and Maria Weigel. Members of the |. House staff also made calls, including Lily Bao,

Foundation gifts accounted for $7.5 million, with donations from individual alumni and friends exceeding $5 million. The next highest giving category was trustees and staff,

which totaled $4.9 million. There were also $1.1 million in corporate

gifts. Over $1.3 million was raised in the last three months of the Campaign.

Work of Steering and ‘Alumni Committees In addition to the work and generosity of the Campaign Completion Committee, co-chaired by Daisy and Paul Soros ’51-52, other Board members responded generously to an appeal from Chairman Paul A. Volcker in October. The work of the Alumni Committee— including three phonathons and many calls and meetings—was very

Campaign Formally Launched in 2000 The rising tide of gifts in the final six months of the Campaign was the result of careful planning and effort that began with a Board of Trustees Retreat held at the Pocantico Conference Center in the early summer of 1995. The Board appointed a Long Range Planning Committee to identify the needs faced by International House in the years ahead. The Committee reported its findings and recommendations to the full Board in 1997, and the silent phase of the Campaign began the following year. It was launched in May, 2000, at the 75th Anniversary Gala at the Plaza Hotel in New York. The overall goal of the Campaign was to allow |. House to continue fulfilling its unique mission for future generations by seeking funding for _ Significant improvements to International House’s physical plant, _

Efforts Extolled at Sunday

Supper At the Candlelight Sunday Supper on May 4, an in-House “family” celebration of the Campaign’s successful conclusion took place.

Chairman Volcker praised the work of the Campaign Steering Committee, and the Alumni Committee. On hand for the event were Trustee William D. Rueckert, President of the Cleveland H. Dodge Foundation, a major campaign donor, and Trustee Peter C. O’Neill who, along with Honorary Trustees David Rockefeller and Abby M. O’Neill, provided magnificent leadership support of the effort. Other top donors to the campaign were Honorary Trustee John C. Whitehead, Life Trustee Patricia M.
