ISU*USA Alumni Association

The International Space University USA Alumni Association needs your help to update alumni contact information. Please setup a profile on this site and let other alumni know where you are and what you are doing. Every contribution makes the alumni network that much better.

When you register, you will also have access to our alumni list -- the freshest ISU alumni information on the planet.

We are testing a new feature called Alumni Updates, where you can post short updates and let other alumni know what's new in your life (think Facebook status, but limited to ISU alumni). We've received a lot of queries about keeping alumni informed about alumni news, and this is meant to fulfill that wish. We need volunteers to test it before we release it into the wild. Email at kirk.kittell@isu-usa.org to help. (For those of you already registered on the site, have a look: Alumni Updates)

Dear ISU friends & family,

We have an exciting opportunity for you!

One year ago, with the support of Google, NASA, ePlanet Ventures, Autodesk and a dozen Associate Founders, Ray Kurzweil, Bob Richards, Mike Simpson and I founded Singularity University. Through SU's 10-week Graduate Studies Program (GSP), we introduced the next generation of leaders to the biggest ideas in emerging technologies and innovative thought - crucial within the space sector!

In our first year we admitted 40 top graduate students from a 1200+ applicants pool.  In our inaugural (GSP’09) year, 5% of the class came from the ISU family.  In keeping up with our tradition of seeking the best, most innovative and most interdisciplinary leaders and thinkers, we invite you to apply to SU – and help us identify top candidates for GSP10.

We have a number of full and partial scholarships that you (and those you refer to us) will be able to apply for.
Our next SU GSP (Graduate Summer Program) will run from June 19th - August 28th, 2010 (in Mountain View, CA (on the campus of NASA Ames) and we have a number of full and partial scholarships available. Please forward this email to potential candidates and/or ask them to fill out an application at http://bit.ly/SingularityUniversityApplication.

Thank you in advance for taking a look at SU’s program and for recommending some world class students!

Ad astra,

Peter
