Last fall Cody Acquista volunteered with fellow Park Scholars at Finger Lakes Reuse to film promotional interview content for the non-profit organization. Alongside service, he was a coordinating producer for the ICTV gameshow, Roommate Rumble, and an avid member and assistant to the manager of Park Promotions and helped to carry out the Park School of Communications 50th Anniversary Celebration. Last spring he traveled to Ithaca College London Center, immersing himself in something he is very passionate about – the arts. He is beyond grateful for the theater, museums, and historical sites he was able to see across Europe. This artistic experience fueled his passion for his own service project, Ithaca-arts.org. This website, and now Instagram, is a place to provide Ithaca College students easy access to many college and community theatre performances all in one place. Through the site you can find local arts organizations and their donation pages. This summer, Cody interned for ACE Entertainment’s film department. Although virtual, Cody provided script coverage, learned how to pitch a film, and collaborated with fellow Film and TV Interns for daily Pop Culture Memos. He is eager to take what he has learned into his screenwriting major and theater minor. Across his time in London, Cody constantly saw similarities to Ithaca’s art scene. Excited to be back on campus this year, Cody is ready to dive right back in!
