Sam Ruiperez-Campillo (IH 2021-22) (pictured above right) found a way to give back by leading walking tours of campus for summer residents. He writes, "As a former I-House resident, I remember the rush of emotions from the excitement about a fresh start and the opportunity to meet new people in the U.S. I was personally fortunate enough to have the I-House community, but not everyone gets the privilege to live in the House." This inspired Sam to co-create SWiiFT—a platform that connects travelers with locals to swiftly make new friendships abroad. Read more of Sam's story on our blog at ihberkeley.wordpress.com. Friends Laurene Wu McClain, I-House NYC alumna and the new president of the University Section Club, visits with Larnie Macasieb and Bill Howley of I-House. The Section Club has endowed a scholarship for I-House residents.
