I-House pays tribute below to this ty of International House. Wendell Lipscomb Scholarship By exposing me to so much diversity, energy and good will, IH has helped me to mature and to become a more well-rounded individual as well as a more educated and informed one. - T. Garvey Tyler Garvey & Rukayatu Tijani (both USA), Law Tyler & Ruky with W. Lipscomb's widow, the late Ellen Gunther I'm a 1st generation student from NY, and have had to worry about paying for textbooks while making sure my mom can pay rent; how to feed myself and have a suit for job interviews. IH provides financial help and has seeded new friendships, understanding and travel plans! It's an opportunity within an opportunity. - R. Tijani Lurie Returned Peace Corps Volunteer Dimitry Gershenson (USA), Energy/Resources Nearly 150 contributors have donated to this fund I am touched both by the donors whose gifts made this scholarship possible, and by its recipients and their contributions to the I-House community. These RPCV scholars expand and deepen transnational awakenings with exciting, new close encounters of a cross-cultural kind. - Joe Lurie Warrick Scholarship There is no place in the world like I-House Berkeley. Betsey and I want to help bring other students to experience all this place has to offer. - Sherry Warrick Sherry & Betsey with Daniel Joe Lurie with Dimitry Gershenson My scholarship allows me to pursue my research without daily stress over money. Plus, I get the education only living at I-House can provide. Even though my Peace Corps service in Honduras is over, I have a lifetime of travel ahead keeping up IH friendships from all over the world. - D. Gershenson Daniel Viragh (Canada), History Being part of IH Council has helped me develop new leadership experience, and improved my daily life. If not for I-House, I'd probably have 2 roomates in a small apartment instead of 600 friends from around the world. There is no other place like I-House. - Daniel Viragh Always an Inspiration... I-House scholarships have made a difference to countless residents throughout our history. I did not come to Berkeley because of International House, but the extraordinary generosity of the International House Scholarship made it possible for me to come to Berkeley. - Dietrich von Bothmer (IH 1940) Former Curator, NY Metropolitan Museum of Art I-House thanks all our supporters and members not recognized herein.
