Ithaca College

¡Hola estudiantes! Ciao!

Please find attached the information and application for La Casa, the Fall 2017 Spanish (Vecinos) and Italian (Amici) Learning Communities. We are looking for students that would like to be in an environment where you learn about Spanish-speaking and Italian-speaking countries, and cultures. Wouldn’t it be fun to host a Karaoke night in Spanish or Italian, Salsa Nights, Games nights, Cooking classes, etc., with students and friends with similar language interests?

We strongly encourage you to apply on Homerconnect here (https://ahomerwa2.ithaca.edu:4530/pls/sisprod/twbkwbis.P_ValLogin). 

Please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Marella Feltrin-Morris, or me if you have any questions. More information from the Office of Residential Life is below.

Saludos,

Enrique (egonzalezconty@ithaca.edu)

and Marella (mfeltrinmorris@ithaca.edu)
