hosted a reception at their beautiful home
in Atlanta on April 19, 2008 in honor of
President John Johnson and his wife
Mary. IC was also represented by Nimr

in New York. The reception brought to-
gether some 30 alumni and friends of the
College. Among the attendees were for-
mer IC administrators, Samia and James
Sullivan and William (Bill) Nystrom and
his wife Gloria.
President Johnson addressed the gath-
ering. He spoke about the current aca-
demic year, extolled IC students’ achieve-
ments and detailed briefly IC’s future
capital plan. He urged alumni to keep IC
in their minds and urged them to show
their support through their gift to the
annual gift program which largely
benefits the financial aid program.
Everyone had a good time. There
was definitely a strong feeling of col-
legiality and strong bond ship among
the attendees. People enjoyed the
Lebanese delicacies and the beauti-
ful cake inscribed with ‘IC’.
