i.c. stars Alumni Association

First off, on behalf of the Alumni Association we would like to thank everyone for their patience during this process and most of all for taking the time to make this opportunity happen!

Alumni,

One of the major issues we've been facing as an organization is an overall lack of post-commencement participation. The Alumni Association has been evolving over the past year (don't take my word for it...come see for yourself!) and we've come up with some new ideas to ensure that the future alum have a smooth transition from commencement to the Alumni community.

An idea we've discussed over the last few meetings is an Alumni/Intern mentoring program. Basically, we'd like to offer the current interns an alumni mentor to help share their experiences and offer support and guidance throughout the process. This program can potentially bridge that gap between interns and alum and allow us to welcome them to our community, as well as encouraging post-commencement participation.

The first step in this process is to create alumni bio's. These bio's will then be distributed to the interns so that they can choose the alumni they'd most like to mentor them.

Please provide a short bio (1-2 paragraphs) explaining your studio role, cycle project roles and current work experiences. If you have any community involvement or passions, please include that as well.

Sherita Whitaker from Cycle 16 has volunteered to be the main point of contact for submission/distribution of these bio's, so please send to swhitaker@icstars.org

Please keep in mind that cycle 17 is already halfway into project 2, so these should be submitted as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance.
