Thank you to all those who shared their stories after the Tea Musicale! These are short, easy, and comfortable conversations. We talk about what you look forward to at IP, what you enjoy most, your fondest memories, and what IP has meant to you over the years. The IP Experience is special! Help us remember and preserve our stories for tomorrow.

Hello everyone! I hope you all have a great April Break!

I am working on producing a documentary about the history and community of IP. If anyone would be interested in helping out or being interviewed about your time here, it would be amazing if you could fill out this interest form. I will send out times for volunteering based on when people are available at a later date once I have a better idea of availability.

In addition, if you have any media (pictures, videos, audio) from previous IP events from any time period that you would be willing to contribute, under this there is a link to upload them to a shared Google Drive (and you can see other people's pictures!).
