Ithaca College

The first day of fall semester classes at Ithaca College is Wednesday, August 31.  However, students and faculty members should follow their Monday class schedules for that first day of classes only.

The College must follow the Monday class schedules on that first day to compensate for observing the Labor Day holiday (on the following Monday) and meet the minimum requirements for class hours established by the New York State Education Department.

Best wishes for a smooth and productive semester.

Brian D. Scholten
Registrar

Now that the academic year has begun, we are in the process of convening our Student Affairs and Campus Life Committees which are dedicated to addressing some very specific needs of the Ithaca College community. In order to better address these needs by working through a representative body of the community, we are once again attempting to gain faculty, staff, and student participation on each of these groups.  The committees for which we are seeking membership are: Diversity Awareness and Safety Awareness. A brief description of each committee and a participation form can be found at:  

https://www.ithaca.edu/sacl/committees/docs/facstaff/

Please review these committee descriptions and if you would like to become a member of either of these committees, please download and complete the form and return to me by Friday, September 9th and/or contact me at 274-3374. Your participation is most welcome and encouraged. If you have any questions, I would be happy to speak with you. Thank you in advance for you help and consideration.

A special thanks to all the faculty and staff who help to reduce the stigma that keeps some of our students from seeking mental health counseling services.  As the beginning of the semester quickly approaches, I hope those of you who will be teaching will consider ways to inspire dialogue with your students about the importance of attending to mental health care.

Submitted on behalf of Dean Diane Gayeski:

It is with great sadness that I share the news that John Keshishoglou, founding dean of the Roy H. Park School of Communications and an internationally recognized communications consultant, passed away on Wednesday, August 24, at the age of 79 after a lengthy illness.

Funeral services are planned for 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 3, at St Catherine’s Greek Orthodox Church, 120 West Seneca Street, Ithaca.

Keshishoglou—known as “Dr. Kesh” to generations of IC communications students—came to the college in 1965 as chairman of the Department of Television-Radio and director of the Instructional Resources Center. When the School of Communications was created in 1971 he was elected dean, a post he held until 1979.
