Dear Campus Community,
Please be reminded that The Office of the President is hosting an All-College Welcome this Thursday, August 25, during the common hour, from 12:10 – 1:05 p.m. in Emerson Suites with an Ice Cream Social to immediately follow.
This is an in-person event for the entire community—faculty, staff, and students are welcome. As a reminder, if you cannot attend the event in-person, please email president@ithaca.edu and a link will be sent to you.
The All-College Welcome is an opportunity for us to connect in solidarity and celebration as we welcome new students to campus, recenter ourselves around our goals for the year, and reaffirm the strengths of our community of care.
Our agenda is:
- President’s welcome
- “Mindful moment” activity led by faculty
- Overview of institutional priorities and goals for the year
- Introduction of the college’s cabinet, including our new deans
- Remarks by leaders of Faculty Council, Staff Council, and the Student Governance Council
- Brief presentation on campus renewal projects
- Ice Cream Social following formal event
In October, we will convene once more for a more formal meeting, where I will deliver information around the state of the college.
I look forward to seeing you Thursday, and I wish you a wonderful beginning to your academic year.
Take good care,
La Jerne Terry Cornish
President
