To the Ithaca College Community:
On Monday, October 1, a draft of IC's Middle States Reaccreditation Self-Study report was placed on the web for public viewing:
www.ithaca.edu/middlestates
The draft represents a culmination of two years of work during which over 100 members of the campus community -- students, staff, faculty, and administration -- served as members of the Steering Committee and task forces, or offered other forms of research assistance.
During the month of October, all members of the community will have opportunities to review and comment on the draft, well in advance of the submission of a final report to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education in January. We urge everyone to provide feedback via [mailto:middlestates@ithaca.edu]; this e-mail address is also provided on the website listed above. Please feel free to provide feedback directly to us, or to associate provost David García, if you prefer. Your participation in this review process will ensure that our document is accurate and reflective of the fine work occurring on this campus.
Please submit any comments, corrections, or suggestions by Friday, October 26.
At this time, we would like to acknowledge members of the Steering Committee, listed below, who offered so much of their time in service to the College over these past two years:
