Ithaca College

The holiday season is a wonderful time to give thanks for all we enjoy together at Ithaca College as a faculty and staff community. We will celebrate again this year at a holiday luncheon on campus and at two holiday parties at Fountain Place. 

Holiday Luncheon in Terrace Dining Hall

The holiday luncheon will take place on Tuesday, December 20. More details will be posted on Intercom.

Holiday Parties at Fountain Place

My wife, Amber, and I will host two holiday celebrations for faculty and staff at Fountain Place. One will be the traditional holiday cocktail reception on Tuesday, December 13, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. Feel free to drop by anytime to say hello and enjoy some holiday goodies. We will continue the new "tradition" of offering a chance to win several door prizes, including a week's use of the president's parking space! To let us know you're coming, just RSVP online by December 5.

We also will host a separate holiday event at Fountain Place, focused on IC families, on Saturday, December 10, between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Faculty and staff and their children or grandchildren are invited to enjoy some holiday entertainment and refreshments. Crafts will be available for children ages 4 through 10, although children of all ages are welcome. If you don't have children or grandchildren in the area, please bring your inner child! Again, simply RSVP online by December 1.

I hope to see you at the holiday celebrations.
