InternatIonal House annual report 2013

International
House
Annual
Report 2013
Letter from the president
and the chairman
A
s we approach the ninetieth anniversary of our founding, International House remains at
the forefront of the effort to promote understanding of diverse thoughts, beliefs, religions,
languages and customs. We strive to develop well-informed future leaders who possess a
global outlook, embrace diversity and are well versed in cross cultural communications. Given
the complexity and global nature of the problems we face, the Mission of International House
to enable its members to live and learn together in a unique residential community that builds
life-long qualities of leadership, respect and understanding is more important than ever. It is
imperative that we seek to ensure that this current generation of bright and able young people
is given the proper tools and perspectives with which to succeed.
International House’s primary objective is to prepare graduate students and trainees for the
challenges they will face as future world leaders. In the professional world, the International
House experience translates into the ability to see many sides of an issue, a willingness to strive
for the resolution of differences, and the capacity to work with people of vastly different ideas
and perspectives. In a now fully globalized marketplace, these skills are crucial in public and
private sectors around the world. The lessons learned at I-House enable promising young artists,
businessmen, diplomats, scientists and musicians to practice and promote the cross-cultural
exchange of ideas and cooperation in their respective fields and communities.
Over the course of the academic year, our community came together around a wide variety
of programs, events and activities arranged by our Office of Programs & Resident Life, many
of which were resident-driven. These are the interactions which remain with our residents
long after they have departed from I-House. Whether it’s participation in a leadership training
program or sharing a meal with someone from a country you’ve never been to, the skills and
experiences gained at International House foster a unique combination of broadened horizons,
multinational friendships and greater cultural awareness.
It is our hope that you will enjoy this Annual Report which provides an overview of the activities
of International House during the 2012-2013 academic year. As the new President and recently
elected Chairman, we look forward to the opportunity to, and the challenge of, continuing to
deliver the Mission of International House and promoting the timeless values of peace and
cross-cultural understanding.

my life, my way of thinking
and the very person I am
today. Ever since living at
I-House I have considered
myself an internationalist;
a global leader ready to
live, work, communicate
and negotiate with anyone
from anywhere in the
world.”
—I-House Resident Member
One hallmark of the I-House resident
experience has always been the ability to hear
from and engage with prominent thought
leaders, and we are proud to continue and
build upon this tradition each year.
Sunday Suppers pre-date the House’s 1924
founding and are an opportunity for our entire

Women’s International
Leadership Program
For more than 20 years, this unique
leadership training program has facilitated
the development of talented women and
prepared them for global leadership roles. WIL
grantees are selected based on their intent
to pursue professional careers that require
a global vision, a commitment to values
reflecting the I-House Mission and a genuine
desire to develop effective leadership skills.
During the program, grantees participate
in workshops focused on leadership theory
and practice, including sessions on building
communication skills and an exploration of
leadership and high-performing teams. This
training culminates in WIL Week, where they
exercise the skills learned throughout the year
by planning a week of events for the entire
I-House community.
Building Community
Community Weekends
Community Weekends are opportunities for groups of resident members to enjoy a free weekend retreat together in the beautiful and
relaxed setting of upstate New York. Established to further facilitate
long-lasting friendships between residents outside of the House’s walls,
these events are offered at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. Team-building activities, an evening campfire, boating and hiking
are all central elements of this unique experience.
Travel Program
NYCP at Jazz at Lincoln Center
The Travel Program offers I-House residents opportunities to explore
New York’s diverse neighborhoods, visit museums and other attractions
and participate in recreational activities together. These events expose
our resident members to some of the most interesting destinations in
the Greater New York area and help foster the cross-cultural exchange
that is a critical component of our mission.

Meeting in Tokyo (clockwise from top left):
“If you are a citizen of
the world, you belong
everywhere and nowhere,
but coming to I-House
helped make sense of it
all, meeting other people
from those cultures or
people who grew up
internationally was a
healing process: making
something whole.”

L
ed by the World Council of Alumni, a
group of elected representatives from
across the globe, International House’s
alumni program serves to nurture and sustain
a lifelong relationship between the House
and its former residents.
Focused on the goals of networking,
recruitment and fundraising, the program
features alumni events around the world and
other in-person networking opportunities,
a robust online community both on the
House’s website and across various social
media platforms, traditional communication
tools and a variety of volunteer opportunities.
As the alumni program’s leadership body,
the World Council meets approximately
every two years alternating between an
international location and New York City.
U.S. Ambassador John V. Roos addresses
The World Council met in October 2012
in Tokyo, Japan. The goals of the World
Council Meeting were to honor the House’s
longstanding relationship with Japan,
establish a sustainable alumni network in
Japan to keep alumni connected to the
House and one another and increase the
number of residents from Japan.
Over four days, Council members from nine
countries joined dozens of local Japanese
alumni to meet with leaders in business,
education, non-profit and the media
including such esteemed individuals as
Japan’s Deputy Minister of Education Shinichi
Yamanaka, and participate in substantive
sessions to both educate participates
about Japan and discuss matters relating
to International House. Council members
and I-House staff also met with potential
applicants at a luncheon for educators.
The meeting provided ample opportunities
for personal and professional networking at
receptions hosted by Ambassador John Roos
at the Embassy and by Toyota at the Toyota
Kioi Club, as well as smaller lively dinners.
These events serve to provide opportunities
for alumni to extend both their professional
and social networks, reminisce about their
I-House experiences and carry on the I-House
spirit.
Tsuchiya Co., Ltd whose Chairman, Yasuyuki
Ohara and President, Koichi Ohara are both
I-House alumni, provided lead sponsorship,
along with Toyota, for the event.
They also set the stage for alumni to be better
ambassadors in recruiting potential residents
by updating them on life at International
House, and encourage alumni to participate in
the Annual Fund.
Other major alumni gatherings in the 2013
Fiscal Year included: the Freunde des
International House Reunion and Annual
Meeting in Rome; the International House Day
Worldwide Celebration where alumni gathered
in Frankfurt, Istanbul, Madrid, Mumbai, New
Delhi, New York, Sao Paulo, Shanghai, Silicon
Valley, Singapore, Toronto and Vancouver;
chapter events organized by Freunde, the
New York Area Alumni Council and Friends of
International House, UK; and the 1980-1985
Alumni Reunion held at International House.

This past year as they have since 1924, alumni
exercised the leadership and communications
skills and cross-cultural understanding they
acquired at the House in their daily lives,
whether it be through their volunteer efforts
for the House, in boardrooms, parliaments
and classrooms worldwide, or in their homes
and local communities.

Donald L. Cuneo: A Tribute
International House Staff
“The mission of
I-House is timeless,
and always very
relevant, especially so
in a world that is more
complex with more
actors and means to
act, both positively
and negatively, than
ever before. If we are
to move forward, we
have no choice but to

fter 20 years of dedicated service and
truly living its mission, Donald L. Cuneo
formally retired as President and CEO of
International House on August 31, 2013.
renovation projects, technological upgrades,
and the strengthening of the staff, the alumni
program and the association of I-Houses
Worldwide are among the highlights.
Cuneo lived at I-House from 1966-1969
while pursuing law and business degrees
at Columbia University, and later returned
as Resident Advisor. In 1971 he joined the
international law firm Shearman & Sterling,
where he would remain for 22 years. First
elected as an I-House Trustee in 1977, he
served as secretary of the Board and led the
New York Area Alumni Council in the late
1980s. In 1993, he was named President and
CEO, the first alumnus to hold the position,
and only the seventh institutional head in the
House’s history.
“Don has been an incredible leader, who has
exemplified the I-House mission in every way,”
said Chairman Frank G. Wisner at one of the
events marking Cuneo’s retirement. “We have
made great strides under Don’s leadership,
and every aspect of the life of I-House –
finances, programs, development, alumni
relations, the physical plant – have never been
in better shape.”
The list of advancements during the Cuneo
years is long: the creation of leadership
training programs, refinement of resident
support services, a successful capital
campaign, the growth of the endowment, vast
With Cuneo’s continuing service on the
Board of Trustees, he will help ensure going
forward that “brotherhood prevails” for future
generations of I-House resident members.

—Don Cuneo
“Don, Bonnie and their family
have lived the mission of
International House for the past
20 years and we are all the
better for it.”
