The Roy H. Park School of Communications has a special connection to Los Angeles through the Ithaca College Los Angeles Center (ICLA) and the countless alumni in the area. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by these tragic circumstances whether directly or indirectly.
ICLA and our student housing is several miles from the devastation caused by the fires and the call for the nearest evacuation area was lifted yesterday. Students will be able to move into their residence beginning on Sunday. ICLA classes will begin as scheduled on Tuesday, Jan. 21. Orientation is being delayed one day and will be held Thursday, Jan. 16, to allow for any travel delays.
The ICLA team has been in communication directly with the incoming cohort of students and will provide assistance to anyone whose travels have been affected. Students who need this type of assistance should email laprogram@ithaca.edu.
The Park School will continue to work directly with the students to support them through this unnerving situation. Please keep everyone in the Los Angeles area in your thoughts. We are closely monitoring this situation and will keep you posted if anything new develops.
