Today, we're excited to launch our month-long #GivingTuesday campaign in support of the International Exchange Program (IEP)! Our goal is to inspire 100 donations of $50 or more. #GivingTuesday is on December 3rd, but you don’t have to wait to support global understanding and cultural exchange!
We're kicking off with a spotlight on IEP alumna Erica Avrami, who interned with the National Trust of England in 1988. Erica shared, “I began documenting historic cottages in Devon, sparking my lifelong passion for earthen architecture. This journey took me from cob farmsteads to the Getty, World Monuments Fund, and Columbia University.”
Help us continue building a brighter future through global exchange. Make your gift at usicomos.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/usicomos/donation.jsp?campaign=7& and help us unlock a dollar-for-dollar match from Ellen Delage and Douglas C. Comer.
Thank you for your support! ... See MoreSee Less
