For me, IHP has never been only a living place. It has been one of the best places to exchange
cultural experiences. I can’t thank enough IHP for helping me to shape my global vision and
leadership skills during my living at IHP. IHP has helped me to build my global preference
through providing truly leadership in experiencing every aspect of international life. I believe
that having opportunity to meet wonderful people from all over the world at IHP is advancing the
great promise of world friendship and I believe that through vision and determination of IHP,
many students, scholars and professionals across the world are getting the chance to be global
dreamers, activists and leaders by exploring and understanding our cultures. Your dedicated
efforts not only help strengthen your community and contribute to the success of the United
States, but also help strengthen the global community and contribute to the success of extending
peace and friendship in our world. I think, like all your alumni, I am very proud of being part of
