Dear I-House Community,
When I lived at I-House over 30 years ago, I often shared meals with friends like Balázs from Hungary, Fatema from Iran, Martha from Mexico, and Jumi from Korea. Experiencing such diversity every day truly opened my eyes to the world.
Today, I-House is still a place where students from every corner of the globe come together, learn from one another, and build lifelong friendships. But now, international students face more obstacles than ever—uncertain policies, visa delays, and financial challenges.
That’s why I’m asking you to help us grow the I-House Scholarship Fund.
Our Goal: Raise $50,000 by June 30, 2025.
Why give? Scholarships allow talented students from all backgrounds to call I-House home. We’ve already raised $10,000, but we need your help to reach our goal.
Your support will help keep I-House open to the world and ensure that future residents can enjoy the life-changing experiences we did.
Thank you for helping the I-House doors stay open to the world!
With gratitude,
Margie Ryan (IH 1992-93)
Director of Alumni Relations and Philanthropy
