Ithaca College is more than a beautiful campus—although it is certainly that!
Ithaca College is Ithaca’s College, proud to be an anchor institution collaborating closely with local and regional partners in our shared pursuit of innovations and services that improve the quality of life in our communities.
Our students bring their education to life by engaging in projects that address real-world challenges, from fostering sustainability initiatives that safeguard our environment to supporting local businesses and schools.
Our faculty lead with expertise and compassion, using their scholarship, research, and creativity to translate the knowledge they create into practical solutions. And all members of our community—faculty, staff, students, and alumni alike—are present as leaders and volunteers, serving on local boards, participating in community service projects, and creating opportunities for cultural exchanges.
This publication offers a glimpse of the many inseparable intersections between Ithaca, the college, and Ithaca, the city, town, and surrounding communities of Tompkins County. We are committed to listening closely to our community partners and aligning our efforts with theirs, whether in revitalizing downtown, serving local schools, supporting lifelong learning, cultivating a resilient workforce, or helping enrich arts and culture.
Together, we continue to create a vibrant, interconnected future where the college and community thrive as one.
We are proud to be your neighbor.
