Announcing IC Current

Contributed by Dan Verderosa on 07/05/16 

We’re excited to announce that beginning Sunday, July 10, all Ithaca College faculty and staff will receive IC Current, a new email newsletter containing the latest news and information about the IC community.

IC Current will initially be sent every two weeks on Sunday, though the frequency may change in the fall as we adjust to the flow of content and adapt to our audiences’ needs. Students will begin receiving the newsletter at the start of the fall semester, and alumni and any interested parties will be able to subscribe towards the end of 2016.

The newsletter contains six sections:

  • Latest News – A round-up of the latest news about IC and its faculty, staff, alumni, and students

  • Upcoming Events – A listing of can’t-miss happenings from the events calendar

  • As Quoted – A thought-provoking quote from IC staff, faculty, students or alumni from the radio, newspapers, or our own magazines

  • Featured Video – A sampling of the multimedia work showcasing our community members

  • Featured Photo – A snapshot of student life or alumni happenings, sometimes lifted from IC’s social media accounts

  • Did You Know? – Useful information about campus resources

The newsletter is designed to be short, to the point, and easy to read on your mobile phones. Content is selected and curated by the Office of Strategic Marketing Communications. You can learn more about IC Current on the Media Relations website.

Enjoy!

Is this going to be available to retirees?

Hi lhatch. The Current will initially be sent to faculty
and staff, and students will be added in the fall. Later
this year we will make it available for the general public,
including alumni and retirees. There will be a sign-up on
ithaca.edu/news once it is available to all.

If this contains the 'latest news and information about the IC community,' why does the 'Latest News" section omit staff news - only faculty and students are listed. Or was that an oversight.

Each newsletter will feature around three news stories and the subject matter of
those stories will vary each week. Sometimes faculty, staff, students, and/or
alumni will be featured. By keeping it to a small number of stories, we hope to
keep readership levels high.

Intercom will continue to exist as a place for faculty, staff, and students to
submit their news and announcements.

This seems very similar to Intercom -- is the idea that
this will take the place of Intercom?
Announcing IC Current Comment from mmisrael on 07/08/16
Intercom will continue to exist as an outlet for faculty, staff, and students to post
their announcements and updates.

The IC Current newsletter will highlight around three news stories in each issue.
The stories will by syndicated from the college's magazines, social media
channels, news site, and other publications.
