The Park Convention

The Park Convention will take place on April 17, 2025 in the Emerson Suites of Ithaca College’s Campus Center. Selected students representing all majors and minors from the Roy H. Park School of Communications will showcase their work from courses or co-curriculars and share their achievements. This is a fantastic opportunity to become a representative for your major, minor, favorite class, or organization.

Park Promotions produces this event as part of their mission to uplift and promote all things "Park." This event features posters, storyboards, and multimedia projects. It's an opportunity to present coursework to a broader audience, network with peers from different disciplines, and showcase talents to faculty and college leadership.

Our inaugural event took place on the 3rd floor of Park in Spring ‘24. Due to high demand and popularity, the event is expanding to the Emerson Suites for Spring 2025.
