Bridges to the Bay 🌁🏠 I-House residents can now apply to be matched with a host family!

“When I came to Berkeley, I expected a dorm room, a pile of textbooks, and maybe the occasional midterm-induced existential crisis. I did not expect to gain American grandparents.”

I-House Alumni Reunion Recap! On Aug. 10, more than 100 alumni walked back through the doors of I-House for our annual Alumni Reunion Brunch! 🥂
Alumni from the 1950s onward gathered on the patio for mimosas, shared a meal in the Dining Commons with current residents, and put their I-House knowledge to the test with trivia. Shaun Carver led guests on a tour of the house they once called home — because once you're I-House, you're always I-House. 🏠✨
Swipe through for a few highlights of the day 👉

🇷🇼 "Sparks of Hope: Fighting Genocide Ideology Through Sports" demonstrated how constructing basketball facilities in Rwandan reconciliation villages brings together youth—including children of both survivors and perpetrators—to foster unity, teamwork, and intergenerational healing.

💬 Reflecting on the Experience: "Basketball is among the most popular sports for young people in Rwanda, and the plan was to construct a court, provide equipment, and launch unity seminars in partnership with local organisations. I choose basketball to be the tool that brings together young people to work as a team and teaches them unity and teamwork as values fundamental to peacebuilding. We choose one reconciliation village where perpetrators and victims of the 1994 genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda live together. Peace means spaces and opportunity where people see beyond divisions and instead build unity through shared experiences. This project contributed to peace by availing facilities that serves as a platform to convey unity and reconciliation message: a court where survivors’ and perpetrators’ children play side by side, learning teamwork and respect. In the short term, the project sparked enthusiasm in the community, bringing youth together daily. Long-term, it sets the stage for structured empowerment programs where basketball becomes a tool for dialogue, leadership development, and reconciliation."
