The Ithaca College/Longview Partnership: Faculty & Staff Speakers Needed for Lecture Series

03/20/13

Ithaca College has had a very successful partnership with Longview, a retirement community located on Danby Road, for the past 14 years.  Part of this relationship has involved an ongoing Faculty & Staff Lecture Series at Longview.

We are looking for speakers for May, June, July & August.  This is a great opportunity to share expertise on a topic with a very appreciative audience!  Contact Chris Pogorzala, the IC/LV Coordinator, at 274-1051 or pogorzal@ithaca.edu if interested.

• Media Constructions of Presidential Campaigns:  What We’ve Learned from the Past & How We Can Make Sense of the Present (Cyndy Scheibe, Psychology)

• Ithaca College’s Climate Action Plan (Marian Brown, Office of Civic Engagement)
