March I-House Connection: Save the dates for Big Give on March 14th and Gala on May 9th
Director of Philanthropy’s Message
Dear I-House Alumni and Friends,
Thank you for welcoming me to International House in my new role as the Director of Philanthropy! In these challenging times, the I-House mission is as important as ever, both as a powerful catalyst for change and a set of ideals worthy of preservation. I appreciate the many alumni, friends and supporters who have already written to me with their valuable insights, remembrances, and gifts to keep the I-House dream alive. These gifts have provided room and board scholarships for students with financial need, continued to preserve our historic home, strengthened program offerings, and allowed International House to position for the future.
