All College Gathering Spring 2024 Save the Date

By Reed Pollard, January 21, 2024

Greetings IC Community! 

As we begin the new semester, I am reaching out to share how thrilled I am to have our entire community back on South Hill. I hope you have all taken the opportunity during these last few weeks to enjoy some time for relaxation, reflection, and restoration. 

To those who are joining our community for their first semester, please allow me to extend a warm welcome on behalf of all of us here at Ithaca College. 

Save the date, Tuesday, January 23, for our All College Gathering hosted by the Office of the President. The event will take place from 12:10 – 1:05 p.m. in Emerson Suites. 

This is an in-person program designed to connect our entire community — faculty, staff, and students— after many weeks apart. Those living outside of the Ithaca area may email president@ithaca.edu to receive the livestream link.  

This will be a time for us to connect in celebration as we welcome new students to campus, recenter ourselves around our goals for the semester and calendar year, and reaffirm the strength of our community on South Hill and around the world. 

Our agenda includes: 

  • Opening Remarks - President Cornish 
  • Centering exercise led by Mary Ann Erickson, Professor, Health Sciences and Public Health 
  • Academic Updates - Melanie Stein, Provost & Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs 
  • Business & Finance Updates - Tim Downs, Vice President for Finance and Administration 
  • Question and Answer
  • Closing - President Cornish
  • Refreshments & Fellowship

I look forward to seeing you later this week, and I wish you an outstanding beginning to an exciting semester. 

See you soon! 

La Jerne Terry Cornish 
President
