Hello, Ithaca College Alumni,
I hope everyone is having a great year! For me it feels like time is passing quickly, and I want to savor every new moment while also celebrating my cherished memories. One way I turn back the clock is by spending a weekend each year on South Hill. I hope to see you at the Ithaca College 2024 Alumni Weekend, taking place June 21–23. We will have a great roster of events to choose from. The IC alumni and family engagement team has been listening to your feedback, and they have made changes to the weekend to better accommodate alumni. For example, now that Alumni Weekend is in June, IC has opened multiple residence halls to allow alumni to stay on campus, giving a greater variety of lodging options.
If you have been receiving updates from Ithaca College, you know the tremen - dous students attending our alma mater. Their accomplishments are inspiring! For example, families in Ithaca recently connected with Ithaca College students and professors during the Department of Mathematics annual Community Math Day celebration. In February, IC’s Los Angeles campus hosted an alumni mixer, bringing together nearly 200 young alumni based in the region and current LA Program students. Also in February, Ithaca College welcomed back two distinguished alumni, Cyepress Ifamayami Brathwaite ’22 and Eden Strachan ’21, to deliver a keynote speech as part of the weeklong campus-wide Martin Luther King Jr. celebration.
If you are not receiving invitations or updates from Ithaca College, it might be because IC needs your updated email address. Be sure to enter your current contact information using the QR code on the left.
Speaking of accomplishments, I hope you will join me this year at the IC Alumni Awards Celebration. Each year the Ithaca College Alumni Association Board of Directors selects award winners in multiple categories from a roster of highly accomplished alumni. Nominations for the award winners come from you, the alumni! Do you know a fellow alum who has achieved major professional milestones, moved the needle in the nonprofit world, or otherwise contributed to society? We welcome your nominations at alumni.ithaca.edu.
On behalf of the Ithaca College Alumni Association Board of Directors, thank you for giving IC your time, talent, testimony, treasure, and ties. These are all ways you can support our alma mater and ensure a bright future for the students of today and the future.
Go Bombers!
With gratitude,
Sarah Richards ’89
President, Alumni Association Board of Directors
