Thank you for 10 years of supporting our students !

On Monday 15th October, about 40 alumni joined an exceptional party in Washington D.C., organised at a private residence. A big thank you again to the organisers for welcoming such a big group in their home !

During the party, Paul Mathieu, President of the Alumni Association and the Washington Chapter, presented some remarkable milestones, like raising $85,605 over the past 10 years, funds which were matched by the FERIS Foundation initially and then its successor, the Friends of the Graduate Institute Foundation. A total of 89 people have contributed to the fundraising over the years: on average there are around 30 donors each year, with six people donating every year. Thanks to each one of you for your support !

To recognise Mr Mathieu’s ongoing commitment to the Institute and Alumni Association, Ms. Peta-Gaye Bookall, who received the 2017-2018 Washington Chapter Scholarship, honoured him with a prize during the alumni reception on 15 September.
