Today, hundreds of UC Berkeley students from over sixty countries will settle into the iconic dome-topped residence and program center at 2299 Piedmont Avenue known as “I-House.”

They arrive just four days after the 84th Anniversary of this unique institution dedicated to cross-cultural connections, serving students, the local community, and alumni worldwide. Read the welcome letter from Executive Director Hans Giesecke, and follow this blog for stories from I-House residents, alumni and staff.
