MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY, “KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE”: Ithaca College will celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday of 2008 with its first ever “Day On, not a Day Off.” As this year's holiday falls on the first day of classes, President Peggy R. Williams has declared this to be a day of reflection, learning, and celebration. Students will not have classes and the campus community will participate in several activities throughout the day, including a breakfast featuring Keynote Speaker MC Lyte, a Day Long Service Project, Interactive Workshops, a Community MLK Celebration Luncheon, "Reflections on the Movement": an interactive theatre experience, and the 2nd Annual MLK Celebration Concert.

Sincerely,

* Because another student may have been assigned to your Fall 2007 space, you must return on Thursday, January 17, 2008 between 1:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. to check out of your current room and to check into your new assignment. Residential Life staff will be available in each residential area to assist with this process. Checking out includes a room inspection with a Residential Life staff member, signing your Key Record Form and turning in all keys. If you cannot arrive on Thursday, January 17, 2008, contact the Office of Residential Life immediately. If no contact is made, we will expect you to be arriving on this date. It is quite likely that you may have been assigned to a space where another student is scheduled to check-out. We ask that if you arrive on-campus and your new room is not available for you to move into, you wait in your Fall 2007 space until the previous resident checks out of your Spring 2008 space. We make every attempt to contact students who we know will be delayed in their move due to another student’s travel arrangements, however, there are times when we are not able to contact everyone. Your assistance in helping to provide a smooth housing transition for all students is appreciated.
** Often new students are assigned to spaces that other students are vacating. For this reason, we ask that all new students plan to move in to their residence halls on Friday, January 18, 2008 beginning at 8:00 a.m. If your room is not ready upon your arrival, please be patient as we work with other students who are changing rooms to prepare your room as quickly as possible.
*** Often students in temporary housing are assigned to spaces that other students are vacating. For this reason, we ask that all students in temporary housing moving to permanent room assignments to arrive on Friday, January 18, 2008. If your room is not ready upon your return, please be patient as we work with other students who are changing rooms to prepare your room as quickly as possible. The cable in your temporary lounge will be disconnected upon your return to campus. Please also note that all room furniture from temporary lounges will be removed and replaced with lounge furniture following opening weekend by outside contractors.
