Project Look Sharp is always collecting magazines to use in various media literacy activities with students, including creating counter-advertisements. We will have gray tubs in the lobbies of each of the dorms from Wednesday through Saturday; please drop off your old magazines as you pack up to leave campus.

Project Look Sharp is a media literacy initiative of the School of Humanities & Sciences at Ithaca College.  For more information about Project Look Sharp and our work, including our internships for IC students, go to https://www.ithaca.edu/looksharp 

This is a reminder about the recent Intercom notice that access to student personal folders on Nova ("G" drive) will expire on June 1st. ITS recommends that students move their Nova files to a flash drive or to one of the free online services before leaving campus for the summer, as it is much easier to access Nova from an on-campus computer.
