We are very excited about our new website and the new opportunities it offers for our current students and alumni.  We hope you will bookmark our IASTP home page and look at it often for announcements of new initiatives, current activities, and profiles on students, faculty, and of course, our alumni.

As part of our new initiatives, we invite you to join our network of IAS Alumni who are working in diverse professions and making a difference throughout the world. As part of our IAS Alumni Community, you have the opportunity to network and socialize with IAS alumni of all ages who share your interests, scholarship, and loyalty to Cal.

Currently Featured Alumni

	Daniel Spitzer (Development Studies '81), an entrepreneur/investor in China (in photo at left) has been a cornerstone in our Alumni Career Panel initiative. Daniel recently approached IAS with the idea of starting a program where alumni could offer career advice to current students in a more personal setting. He visited us in February 2007 to inaurgurate this initiative. Peace and Conflict Studies major Louise Ryder said she "loved meeting with Daniel Spitzer to discuss international career focuses, particularly in China, an area I am extremely interested in."
Kevin Johnson ( '87), NBA All-Star and founder of St. Hope Academy http://www.sthope.com/ (photographed with students at right) met with students to provide insight and advice on careers in community service. He shared his story of founding St. Hope and the value he places on giving back to his community through education and economic development. He encouraged students to go out and use their knowledge and skills to effect change.

With your help, we can continue to offer these gathering to our students.If you are available to meet with students and offer your career advice, please contact iastp@berkeley.edu
