Ithaca College views academic excellence as the integration of theory, practice, and performance. As a global destination for bold thinkers seeking to build thriving communities, our Center collaborates with campus and community partners to support experiential learning initiatives. Whether it's merging entertainment with storytelling to create programs rooted in anti-oppression or having an intentional dialogue with student activists to capture their voices, there are countless opportunities across campus to learn and unlearn.

Peer facilitated workshops that introduce and frame aspects of identity, equity, and social change.
IC Voices
How do we honor our painful past, connect it to our present experiences, and provide space for people to wrestle with both?
Cafe Con IDEAS
Café con IDEAS provides a platform for student-artists to develop and project their voice in a 45-minute set while sharing personal narratives rooted in identity and anti-oppression. Ranging from comedy, spoken word, dance and performance, song, and creative speed art, each session is designed to engage the audience through creative arts and empower individuals to look inward and consider their own responsibility to social change.
