Melion Foundation Helps I. House Connect with South Africa, Again hen borders have opened worldwide, International
House has opened its doors to an even more diverse group of graduate students and trainees.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, I. House welcomed residents from the former communist block, and when apartheid ended in South Africa, I. House
readied itself to embrace a growing group of students from this country. However, International
House could not do it alone. In 1998 International House received a generous $150,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to recruit South African residents and provide scholarships to help support their stay at the House. The Mellon Foundation also sponsored International House’s World Council of Alumni meeting in Cape Town and Johannesburg in 2000. During this conference, I. House staff and alumni met with representatives from leading educational institutions, prospective residents, members of the World Council, South African alumni and alumni from other areas in Africa. These meetings created a number of partnerships, and these partnerships brought more South
Africans to International House. In the two years following the conference, the number of residents from South Africa more than doubled. From 1998 to 2002, through the generosity of the Mellon Foundation, International House awarded approximately $40,000 in scholarship assistance to South African residents. Unfortunately, it has been difficult for International House to maintain this increased level of representation from South Africa. The events of September 11, 2001 and a drop in referrals from several programs, such as the Spencer Fellows, resulted in a decrease in South African representation at International House.
Again, the Mellon Foundation was there to help. In 2002 the Foundation generously donated an additional $150,000 to ensure that representation can be maintained, provid-
ing funds for recruitment materials, scholarships and a visit to South Africa to renew contacts made during the 2000 conference and establish additional connections at different institutions. In August of this year, President Don Cuneo traveled to three major cities in South Africa to meet with representatives at a number universities and educational organizations and I. House alumni. In the Johannesburg area, Cuneo met with representatives at UNITECH, Rand Afrikaans University (RAU) and the
University of Pretoria, where he also addresses students and faculty. At the University of Witwatersrand, Cuneo met with administrators and received a tour of the university from alumnus Dr. Geoffrey Blundell 01, Deputy Director of the Rock Art Research Institute. He also spoke with several high level Continued on page 3
China’s Economic Rise Topic at Benefit high-level discussion on the rise of China and its economic and geopolitical implications in the 21st Century informed 175 residents, alumni and trustees, and raised more
than $165,000 for the scholarship fund in June.
Trustee Fareed Zakaria engaged veteran diplomat Richard Holbrooke and business leader Maurice R. Greenberg on the topic. Holbrooke, former UN Ambassador and Chairman of the Asia Society, and Greenberg, Chairman and CEO of insurance giant AIG, are both past speakers at the House and strong supporters of its mission.
In his welcome, Chairman Paul A. Volcker described Holbrooke as “an acute observer of China and the rest of the world” who “wouldn’t be here without International House —his parents met there.” Holbrooke’s mother Trudi Kearl °39 beamed from the front row. The Chairman noted Greenberg’s “enormous career with AIG, the most acclaimed and biggest insurance company in the world” which had its beginnings in Shanghai in 1919. Speaking to the gathering at the Harold Pratt House in Manhattan, Moderator Zakaria acknowledged with gratitude the participation of “two of the busiest people in the world.” Zakaria began by stating “an indisputable fact: the rise of China has been without question the single most successful example of development in history over the last 30 years.” Both Greenberg and Holbrooke
agreed that in spite of its exponential economic growth in the last 30 years, China faces many challenges in the decades ahead.
Greenberg described his dealings with the country dating back to 1975, when he said he believed that “300 million brilliant people could not be kept out of the world trading system. It had to become a market.” He praised the country’s leaders during this period. Holbrooke described his first trip to China 1977 with Secretary
“We drove into Tiananmen Square, where two million people were waving flags and flashing pictures of Mao, Stalin, and Lenin.” He spoke of enormous change and enormous continuity in the intervening years. “Think of this—over half of the world’s growth today is taking place in one country,” Holbrooke

notes. While no two Houses are the same, we share a common mission in a broad sense, and our sessions
are always lively and informative. The session I led focused on major challenges facing International House, and I thought I would take this opportunity to share some of these with you. Community Creating and sustaining a resident community is a challenge we face year in and year
out. Providing programs that attract large numbers of busy graduate students and interns is an age-old issue. Communicating the concept of community living is

What this all boils down to for I. House-New York is that we must be proactivein taking steps to maintain an applicant pool—and resident body—that is outstanding in terms of both quantity and quality. We communicate
carefully and often with the community. We have recently added DSL technology as an internet option. We are more aggressive in our recruiting efforts. The most significant step we've taken in this regard is the plan to renovate resident areas of I. House South. The next World Newsletter will provide more details, but
this over $9 million renovation—the first of its kind in fifty years—will address resident hallways, lounges and bathrooms and most significantly resident rooms, while adding more storage space. Those of you who support I. House should be pleased to note that we are doing everything we can to make sure that the experience of living here continues to attract the best and brightest young people for at least another 80 years.

President Don Cuneo and his family hosted a reception for I. House alumni in the United Kingdom at the Savoy Hotel in London on June 21st. About 30 alumni gathered for drinks in the Savoy’s Princess Ida Room overlooking the River Thames. Among those in attendance were Trustee Kathleen Burns and World Council of Alumni members Mohammad Kia ’46, and Allison King ’00 and Ayman Jarjour ’99. The reception was held following a week in which Cuneo and his wife Bonnie, daughter Kristen and son Lane took part in a conference of the Heads
of I. Houses Worldwide, which was hosted by International Students House in London. The I. House President reviewed discussions that had taken place at the conference, and provided
updates on recent activities at the New York House.
I. House has been working with London-based attorney Elizabeth Katkin Waryn 91 and others to look into the possibility of establishing a UK Friends of International House to enable donors in the United Kingdom to receive tax deductions for their gifts to the House.

-- China’s Economic Rise = Continued from page 1 Holbrooke cited a list of challenges to China’s position in the future: the issue of a possible crackdown on Tibet, the matter of Taiwan, religious freedom, trade and labor practices and attendant protectionist pressures, the general issue of human rights and the threat of HIVAIDS. Regarding the government’s crackdown in Tiananmen Square 15 years ago, Holbrooke noted that predictions of a systemic problem had proven false. Greenberg said that at his final meeting with Deng Xiaoping, the late communist party leader indicated the government had feared an incipient revolution in the student uprising, and felt it had no other recourse. Regarding reports of China’s overheated economy, Greenberg said “Make no mistake, there is not going to be a hard landing. There’s no way the government is going to permit that to happen.”

her to move into International House, where she lived from 1947-1952. In 1946, Linda Yang was one of the only women in each of her business classes. While for some, this may have been intimidating, for Yang, it served as a constant reminder of her goal to open up funding sources to women and small businesses. It was this goal that also helped guide her into a career in finance in the public sector. Yang believes that “public service really grants a person tremendous rewards, not monetary rewards, but if you succeed in doing something right, thousands will benefit, whereas your ability to reach thousands in the private sector is limited.” Linda Yang has affected the lives of millions. As the first woman and minority to hold the position of California’s Savings and Loans Commissioner from 1980-1982, she established loan counseling centers in low-income areas where experienced credit counselors educated individuals about the credit process, how they might qualify for credit and how to handle it once
achieved. Her actions enabled many to achieve the “American Dream” of owning a home. Linda Yang has made it her mission to open doors for others, even if she had to be the one to open them for herself. She was first Asian-American appointed to the Board of Administration of the California Public Employees System (calPERS) and served as Vice President of the Board and Vice-Chairman of its Investment Committee. In 1993, President Clinton appointed her Ambassador and US Executive Director to the Asian Development Bank in Manila, making her the first woman appointed by the U.S. Government to a multilateral financial institution. This position provided an “unusual opportunity to not only serve my government, but also to reach out to millions through policy dialogue and programs,” said Yang. Arriving in the middle of the Asian economic crisis, Ambassador Yang understood that “for every economic crisis, there is a human face that must be addressed.” And address it she did. Ambassador Yang made it a stipulation that any financial assistance program address not only how to rescue the banking system in an area, but also ensure that public services can be maintained and improvements in education, healthcare and community development made. When the Asian Development Bank issued relief to Indonesia, Yang insisted that the Bank stipulate that US $300 million be allocated for primary education, with one half going to girls. As a native of Shanghai, Ambassador Yang was well aware of the need for open green space in that industrial city. At the time of her posting, the Asian Development Bank could not grant loans to China except for environmental purposes. When China applied for a loan to clean up the Suzhou Creek in Shanghai, there was uncertainty whether the United States would approve the program. Yang worked tirelessly with the U.S. Government to gain its support for the project. By supporting it, the United States was able to have input into the design of

And then World War II broke out. While the war may have stalled her plans, it did not
dash her dreams. With an acceptance from Smith College in hand, she arrived in New York City in November of 1946. She fell in love with the city so much so that she submitted an in-person application to Columbia and was accepted into a M.Phil. program in Economics. Family friends, I.

The Suzhou Creek and its surrounding area is no longer an eyesore and now offers its citizens a peaceful place to walk, socialize and enjoy the beauty of nature. Today, Yang is retired, but continues to serve the public through her involvement on the boards of several corporations and non-profit organizations, including the Asia Foundation. More importantly, her actions to open funding sources to minorities and the poor, to open up public services to those who need it most, and to open doors for women and Asian Americans to hold high level positions in the business world will positively affect future generations worldwide.
il. House Travels to Brazil When the World Council of Alumni Meeting, scheduled to be held in Brazil in April of 2004, was
cancelled due to poor attendance and lack of underwriting, International House wanted to maintain the contacts with alumni and educators that had
been made in anticipation of the meeting. In early May, Director of Development & Alumni Relations John Wells and Assistant Director of Development Nicole Davidson traveled to Sao Paulo Brazil to meet with alumni and encourage recruitment of Brazilian residents.

Organized primarily by Zurich-based alumni and World Council Members Karl Safft ’88, Marcus Hugelshofer ’87 and Martina Schmitz ’87, the gathering featured a mixture of fellowship, excursions and intellectual discourse one might expect in a meeting of former I. House residents. The weekend began Friday evening with an informal dinner beneath a tent at Zurich’s popular Circus Monte restaurant. The following morning, Zurich Mayor Elmor Ledergerber officially welcomed the contingent and I.
House Director of Development John Wells provided an update on recent activities in New York.

Other activities included walking tours of the city, a boat cruise on Lake Zurich, and a mountaintop lunch in nearby Uetliberg.

Brazil had originally been selected as the site of the
World Council Conference because despite being the world’s 5th most populous nation, only a handful of
residents from Brazil lived at International House in 2003. In an effort to increase the number of Brazilian
residents at International House, Davidson and Wells met with representatives from International Affairs Offices of the University of Sao Paulo (USP) and the
Pontificia Universidade Catolica de Sao Paulo, two of Sao Paulo’s largest and most respected universities. Luis Campos ’91,03, a World Council of Alumni Member, who also guided the staff during their trip to Sao Paulo, organized an alumni luncheon at the Angelica Grill. Wells and Davidson also spoke with human resources and social responsibility executives at Banco Real and the publishing company Abril about the possibility of housing interns or employees exploring
additional training in New York at the House. In addition, they met with the Executive Director
of Fundagao Estudar, a non-profit organization that sponsors Brazilians to pursue graduate degrees, most-
ly MBAs, at American universities. The Foundation plans to provide its grantees, who will study in New York, with information about International House. It still may be some time before International House experiences a substantial increase in the
number of residents from Brazil, but the prospects are encouraging.

For the donor, it is often more convenient to take care of their donations all at once. It is also helpful for our budgetary purposes to receive gifts more evenly throughout the year.

One area, which presents an annual challenge, is Corporations and Foundations. Readers who have contacts in these areas which you think might be helpful are invited to contact me at jwells@ihousenyc.org. But one sure way to help us out in this regard is through your own gift. Corporations and foundations look very closely at the number of alumni who contribute to the institution when they consider funding.

WALK ON WALL STREET: One Step on the Road to Success “There is no better place for networking in New York than I. House,” remarked an I. House alumnus recently. With that in mind, the New York Area Alumni Council (NYAAC) hosted its 5th Annual Walk on Wall Street for residents of International House on October 12th. The Walk on Wall Street, conceived by Ross Youngman 791 in 1999, brings I. House
residents interested in the financial industry to a number of firms in New York City where they meet with alumni and learn first hand about topics pertinent to the field. This year’s Walk on Wall Street including a trip to Banc of America Securities where David Sullivan ’96 presented an overview of alternative investments and in _ depth explanations of hedge funds and why alternative investments are an increasingly attractive choice for high net-worth investors.

Welcome Weeks Highlights The first few weeks of September witnessed a host of familiar scenes ushering in the new academic year— throngs of suitcases lined up in the lobby, hallways abuzz with delighted new resident members striking up conversations and returning members eagerly swapping summer stories.

The Orientation Fellow, Jane Pejtersen, did a splendid
job organizing numerous activities to help acquaint first-year resident members with their new environment including sightseeing visits, restaurant trips and social events. On Orientation Night, resident members gathered together with I. House staff to learn about available services, various I. House programs and procedures. Nearly 200 resident members attended the Programs Fair on September 14th and discovered a Main Lounge bedecked with an array of colorful informational booths promoting different activities for the year. The annual Leadership Weekend brought together Resident and Program Fellows and I. House staff members for a weekend of team building and leadership training. New and returning resident members were particularly enthusiastic about the two Community Weekends at Cold Spring, New York where they had an opportunity to develop a sense of community and friendship. And so began another vibrant year at the House, 80 years after inception, advancing its vital mission of promoting cross-cultural exchange among future global leaders.
