16 International House Times 17. Although Robyn McAlpine's (IH 2019-20) time at I-House was truncated by the onset of the pandemic in 2020, the time she spent here left a deep impression on her. "I took every cultural training I could while I was at I-House. I think it's so important." She remains keenly invested in the mission of I-House and in the work of the Robertson Center for Intercultural Leadership and Programs. On a recent visit, she met with the RCILP team, including current I-House resident and Program Lead, Alizé Jean (IH 2022-24). 18. While on a Visiting Miller Research Professorship through the Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science, Alan Robock (IH 1973) stopped by I-House, where he lived while a graduate student working at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory more than 50 years ago. 19. Kaushik Das (IH 1993-96) showed his daughter Nuriya around I-House, including a visit to the laundry room. Some of Kaushik's fondest memories are hanging out with I-House friends while waiting for the clothes to dry. Kaushik's wife Cristina Martin (IH 1996-98) and her brother David Martin (IH 1998) also lived at I-House; another I-House family! 20. Gregory Morgan (IH 1992) and his family were all smiles as he introduced them to I-House, where he once served as a member of the Resident Council. 21. Lynn T. White (IH 1964-65) and his wife, Barbara- Sue, spent a night in the I-House Ambassador Suite. With big smiles, they read Lynn's application to I-House from the 1960s. ey look forward to continuing to visit I-House, attending themed dinners, and getting to know new residents. For a list of upcoming I-House events and ways you can reconnect, see the back page of this newsletter. 22. Gina (Saldanha) Ramanathan (IH 1989-90) and Sridhar Ramanathan (IH 1982-83) met outside of I-House but both remain connected to its mission and many friends from their I-House years. As a former student worker in the Sarin Program Office, Gina was particularly happy to see that I-House traditions, including Sunday Supper, are still a part of the I-House experience today. I-House All Years Alumni Reunion We were pleased to welcome more than 160 alumni, families, and friends back to I-House on August 6th for the I-House All Years Alumni Reunion. It was clear that, although many alumni spent a brief time of their lives living at I-House, the impact was long-lasting. See photos of the event at ihberkeleyconnect.org. Stay tuned to our website, monthly emails, and social media for details about the 2024 reunion. Back to Berkeley 17 19 20 21 22 18
