Direct contact with an IPSL Alumni will be made available shortly. In the meantime, if you are a prospective student wishing to speak to an alum, please email Arianne at anewton@ipsl.org with your request indicating which program you are interested in.

Welcome Home!

It's great to find you back with us again. You are in the right place if you need a transcript, want to learn more about IPSL's activities or want to get involved in the IPSL Alumni Association. Whether you returned a few months ago or several years ago, your international service-learning experience has likely had a great impact on your life. As an alum of an International Partnership for Service-Learning and Leadership program, you are in the unique position to connect with the thousands of previous IPSL participants with similar experiences and interests.

If you have not already done so, please take a moment to fill out our short on-line survey. We value your responses and use them to improve our programs. As an incentive, all respondents will be entered into an annual drawing (held each fall for the previous academic year - fall, spring and summer  - participants). The winner will receive a gift certificate to either your school's bookstore or Portland's famous Powell's City of Books bookstore.

 Alumni Association

We invite you to become active in the Alumni Association to reconnect with fellow alumni, the program, and the service that shaped an important part of your life. The Alumni Association was formed:

• To foster the continued reflection, growth, and learning of its members, and to share this learning with others;
• To provide a forum for re-kindling the friendships and memories established for so many during an IPSL term;
• To provide networking opportunities to enhance career options;
• To keep alumni informed of activities and developments in program locations.

Alumni Council

The Alumni Council advises IPSL staff on Alumni Association activities. It exists to:

• provide IPSL with a cohesive group of individuals who can recommend service-learning opportunities based on their own experience in an IPSL program;
• help IPSL promote its programs through college conferences, study abroad and volunteer service fairs and by speaking to prospective students;
• plan alumni retreats, conferences and service activities;
•  facilitate the sharing of current IPSL student's experiences by running the "Notes From the Field" program;
• sit as a member of the judging team for the annual IPSL photo contest; and
• provide a research base for the impact of service-learning on individuals and society.

The following IPSL Alumni are currently serving on the Council:

Robin Choi - 1997 Lakota Nation

Dawn Lozada - 2003-2004 MA Program

Ami Larson - 2007 - Siena, Italy

Update Information

Many alumni have kept in touch with us and let us know how profoundly their IPSL experience affected their paths and career choices. We are eager to know where you are and what you are doing and have done since your service-learning experience since so many of you now find yourselves doing interesting things all over the globe. If you would like to  update your whereabouts or share stories or reflections on your experience to share, please email or call us. And visit the IPSL alumni facebook page!
