The fourth program will be held by the PACE Vice President of Finance, Mark Melchionna, who will discuss the background of competitive culture in the workplace. Competitive culture is a very broad term, and it can refer to internal and external situations. Oftentimes, competition can be viewed as a positive thing because in order to achieve greatness we need some form of it in order to stay motivated.

Hello IC Community!  

My name is Tedra Carter and I am a junior biology student here at Ithaca. If you are on campus, you may soon notice field cameras around the grounds. Please be assured that the purpose of these cameras is not to monitor you but rather to monitor wildlife. These cameras are a part of my biology research project concerning the activities and behavior of wildlife using campus while there are so few of us around. 

Pictures of humans captured by these cameras are deleted.

Thank you for your cooperation!  

For more information please contact Leann Kanda at 607-379-1165 or lkanda@Ithaca.edu.  This project is IRB 216.
