Ithaca College

(The following message is being posted on behalf of Dr. Timothy Carey, Associate Vice President, Facilities)

Colleagues: 
In late May, I shared the list of projects and initiatives that the Facilities Department was planning to execute during the summer months.  I am now pleased to provide a pictorial update on many of the more significant initiatives.  As noted in my first message, Facilities strives to provide first-rate service while simultaneously executing projects during the compacted summer constructions season so that the academic year instructional program is not adversely impacted by noise, dust and other inconveniences associated with these kinds of efforts.  For those of you who are on campus during all or portions of the summer months, I sincerely thank you for your patience as we work to improve your campus.

On July 14, Jeane Copenhaver-Johnson and Madeline S. May presented “Affirming Gender Expression for All: An Analysis of YA Realistic Fiction with Gender-Creative Protagonists” at the 29thAnnual Whole Language Umbrella’s Literacies for All Summer Institute in Baltimore. The researchers shared the results of a two-year content analysis of young adult novels with transgender and gender-creative protagonists, with particular emphasis on how this body of work offers (and often does not) affirming and believable representations of transgender protagonists and supporting/ally characters. The researchers also presented another portion of their study at the Literacy Essentials 12thAnnual Conference at Central Connecticut State University in April.
