In the next couple of days, all faculty and staff will receive a brochure entitled “Eliminate Bias-Create a Community of Respect.” All on-campus students will also receive this publication at the opening of the fall semester. The College has published this brochure over the past few years to educate all community members about how to prevent incidents of bias and hate on campus, and what steps should be taken to report such an incident if it were to occur. Please review this information carefully. We need everyone’s help in keeping the Ithaca College community a safe, accepting, and positive place to live, work, and study.

 

 

I am proud to announce that a section on social media has been added to Ithaca College’s Identity Standards guide to help you represent your department or organization in a manner consistent with other entities on campus and also to make recommendations on ways you can show your Ithaca College pride on your personal profiles. The new standards and optional downloads of background templates and cover photos are available at ithaca.edu/socialmedia.

The start of each semester is a busy time for many departments and clubs that want to reserve classrooms or other academic spaces for various non-academic activities. There can be some confusion concerning the process for reserving classrooms for these activities leading up to and during the add/drop period each semester. In order to make the process smoother for this upcoming semester, as well as future semesters, here are guidelines for reserving classrooms during the add/drop period.

Flexibility is required during the add/drop period to assign different classrooms for classes that need to be moved for any number of reasons. During this period the Office of the Registrar will only process classroom requests for activities that have an academic focus. All other classroom requests should be directed to the Campus Center and Event Services Office (CC&ES).
