Welcome Back to South Hill: All-College Welcome Fall 2023

By Reed Pollard, August 31, 2023

Dear Campus Community,

Thank you to everyone who attended Tuesday’s All-College Welcome! It was so lovely to see all of you and to have a chance to catch up after a long summer apart. Our celebration of the new academic year was invigorating, and I think our direction and focus is clear.

In short, our institutional priorities, which are outlined further in this IC News story, include improving IC’s financial sustainability; implementing new strategies for marketing, enrollment, student success, student retention, and philanthropy and engagement; and building infrastructure that supports IC's transformation to an institutional rather than a school-specific mindset.

This new year is teeming with promise and possibility, but we need everyone’s help!

In case you missed it, you may view a replay of the event here. We will convene once again on October 26 for a formal State of the College meeting. More details will be shared in the coming weeks.

I thank you for all that you do for the Ithaca College community, and I hope you will be well, stay well, and take good care.
