Caltech International Spouses Club benefits from a generous gift that was given to the International Offices by Dr. Lajos Piko in memory of Ingrid Gumpel (1926 - 2011). Ingrid was the person who took care of international students at Caltech for many years.  

The purpose of the fund is to promote social, cultural, and general educational opportunities for international students and scholars during their stay at Caltech and JPL. Programs involving the spouses of international students and scholars are especially encouraged and supported.
