The I-House Connection: April 2021

April 8, 2021

Shaun R. Carver, I-House Executive Director

Dear I-House Alumni and Friends,

In this edition of the I-House Connection, I’d like to share with you the exciting news that due to a fantastic response to the upcoming reopening of I-House, the number of confirmed offers for residency, and optimism about the Fall, we are now pleased to offer double-occupancy rooms. Please see the message below from Roxanne Pifer, our Director of Admissions and Housing Operations, and help us spread the good news!

I’d also like to encourage the I-House community to engage in a special workshop on diversity, equity and inclusion to be offered later this month by the Robertson Center for Intercultural Leadership. Details and enrollment information are also included below.

Finally, I’m pleased to share the thought-provoking recording of a special “Conversation Across Generations” hosted by our Program Office between staff member Joy Iwasa and her grandmother about her experience in an internment camp during World War II.

Thank you for your support in keeping the I-House dream alive!

Sincerely,

Shaun Carver, I-House Executive Director

Conversations Across Generations

The I-House Programs Office continues to offer remote programs that encourage our I-House community to engage across generations and perspectives. Last week, the Programs Office hosted a program featuring a conversation between staff member Joy Iwasa and her grandmother about her experience in an internment camp during World War II.

At the age of 21, Yae Wada “Mana," a Nisei (second-generation Japanese American), and her family were forced by the U.S. Government to relocate from lives in Berkeley, CA to an internment camp in Topaz, Utah. Mana is currently 101 years old and this is only part of her life story, but it has defined her remarkable experience that we now have the privilege of knowing. We are pleased to share the recorded program with our alumni and friends.

Conversations Across Generations: Yae Wada “Mana"

We thank you for staying connected to International House Berkeley. We welcome your participation in our online Global Community where you can read Shaun's weekly posts and connect with I-House friends.

Sincerely,
