Dear Ithaca College Community,

Like so many Americans—and so many people around the world—I am completely appalled and horrified by the mob action and scenes of destruction that have unfolded today in our nation’s capital. It is very clear that the purpose of this attack on our democracy is to disrupt the process of a peaceful transfer of power and to foment fear, intimidation, and terror.

On Thursday, January 7th starting at 6 AM there will be a 1-hour outage of the campus voice mail system for routine maintenance.  

Users and callers will not have access to the voicemail system during the outage - voicemail messages can neither be retrieved nor recorded.  Callers will hear a recorded message telling them to call back after the end of the maintenance window (7 AM on Thursday, 1/7).  This will not impact telephone dial tone or general telephone use.  The campus Emergency Notification System will continue to function during the voicemail maintenance.  Please contact the Information Technology Service Desk via phone at (607) 274-1000, email: Servicedesk@ithaca.edu or chat if you have any questions.  Thank you. 

The Information Technology Service Desk Team 

On Wednesday, January 6 at 3:00 pm, join us for an information zoom panel with Q&A, held for Ithaca College faculty and staff addressing Res. Life opening in January. Learn details about move-in throughout January into early February and ask questions about supporting students.

Dear Campus Community,

I hope all of you had a restorative break and are beginning 2021 refreshed and strong. As we start this new year, it is with a heavy heart that I deliver the news to this campus community that Bill Guerrero, vice president for finance and administration, recently shared with me his decision to leave Ithaca College to become the vice president for finance and administration at Springfield College. This opportunity will allow Bill to live in Connecticut, where his family has remained since he joined IC in 2018. His last day at the college will be Friday, February 26.

We are seeking volunteers to serve as College Trained Advisors and/or Board Members for cases of sexual misconduct. Both Advisors and Board Members play a critical role in protecting student rights and enacting due process measures.

College Trained Advisors are part of a pool of college employees made available, through the Title IX Office, to complainants and respondents as they go through the investigative and student conduct processes. Advisors are an invaluable supportive measure for participants of the sexual misconduct process, as they offer support, knowledge, and a helping hand throughout the process.

Board Members will be called upon for Conduct Review Boards to review all evidence collected during an investigation and presented by Complainants and Respondents during the hearing. This board will present a finding based on the preponderance of evidence. Conduct Review Board members are an essential part of the decision-making process and ensure a fair and equitable experience for all involved parties throughout the duration of the hearing.
