Ithaca College

The fifteenth annual Rainbow Reception will be held on Friday, April 21. The Rainbow Reception is a celebration of Ithaca College's graduating lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, asexual, and allied seniors and graduate students. Reservations are required. Please register here.

All students, staff, and faculty who wish to celebrate the accomplishments of our LGBTQA+ and allied seniors and graduate students are welcome and reservations are required. 

This celebratory event features music, a buffet of light appetizers, and remarks by special guests. Family and friends are also welcome to attend, and students who are not seniors are warmly invited to share in this upbeat and inspiring tradition (please RSVP using the link, above). This year we'll again welcome a featured alumn to share words of encouragement and wisdom. And, this is the event at which you can receive your very own set of rainbow honor cords (or a rainbow stole, for grad students)!

The frequently asked questions page provides additional information about the Rainbow Reception.
