For over 40 years, the fountains on Ithaca's South Hill have been a symbol of Ithaca's beauty and a landmark of Ithaca College. Painted with a backdrop of Cayuga Lake, the fountains spark energy throughout Ithaca's campus.
To launch another beginning at IC, we will officially illuminate the fountains and “make wishes” for a successful year.
Sponsored by The First Bomber Weekend Committee and Class Councils, all students are welcome to gather around the fountains on August 29th at 8pm as we turn on the lights surrounding the fountains and welcome in the New Year.
First year students in attendance will receive First Bomber Weekend cups filled with water, and once the celebratory countdown is over, they will throw the water into the fountain and make a wish for the year. Upperclassmen can share their own wishes on the graffiti board.
This is the first of what we hope will be a long lasting tradition around one of the College's most beautiful and iconic landmarks.
