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

Hello, alumni. You may have seen this email (below) in your inbox. We're asking alumni to send ISU*USA a one sentence update -- so short, so easy, and we don't hear from you enough so how can you resist? -- about something interesting that happened to you in 2009. Then we'll compile them all in the newsletter.

But, there are quite a few alumni who we either (a) don't have contact information for or (b) simply haven't gotten the word to yet. (And (c) we're running out of time.)

Could you give us a hand and point them here so they can participate? We'd really really like to hear from you and them and everyone.

Dear alumni,

ISU*USA, the US alumni association for the International Space University, is putting together our end-of-year newsletter for 2009. (If you're not getting it and would like to, email: news@isu-usa.org.) We'd like to share something interesting from your year with the rest of the alumni.

Please send us a one sentence update to news@isu-usa.org about something that happened to you in 2009. (Deadline: this Saturday, 19 December.)

It could be anything: a new job, something exciting at work, an addition to your family, a new home -- anything that you would like to share with the alumni family. We'll include it in the newsletter.

Thanks for your help, and best wishes for 2010,
Kirk Kittell
SSP2006, ISU*USA President
