International House is proud to honor members of our global community who, in their personal and professional lives, promote a world of greater justice and peace. The next Celebration and Awards Gala will take place on Saturday, March 7, 2026.
A post-Gala message from Shaun Carver:
Sunday was the International House Awards Celebration and Gala, and I’m still feeling buoyed by the celebration, the camaraderie, and the beautiful reminder of what I-House is all about. We were honored to share this festive occasion with Rich Lyons, the new Honorary Chairman of the Board for I-House, and many I-House alumni, friends, and residents for this special event. Once again, my heartfelt congratulations to our distinguished awardees: Markos Kounalakis (IH 1977-78), The University Section Club, and Excellence Anurika Joshua (IH 2023-24).
