We are still looking for students, faculty, and staff to participate in this wonderful campaign. We have received very positive feedback from those that have already participated. This is a great way to build connection and develop intergenerational friendships.
Cards across Campuses is a IC-LV Partnership program that was started in the Spring of 2021, when the pandemic shut down in-person intergenerational programming between the two campuses.
Jessica Taves, Longview Coordinator on IC campus, talked and Zoomed with many residents/tenants at Longview who expressed how much they missed seeing the students’ friendly smiles and hearing about all their college adventures. She was also being asked by students and student clubs how they could be more involved at Longview.
Individuals or groups can reach out to the ICGI to request a greeting card to be sent to an identified individual at Longview. ICGI will provide a blank greeting card, assigned to a tenant or residents (For privacy reasons, only a name first will be provided).
Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact Jessica Valdez-Taves at jtaves@ithaca.edu or 607-274-1051. We ask that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible.
