Parents Committee Looks Forward to New Year

Giving by Ithaca College parents continued its upward trend in the 1995-96 fund year, and the Parents Committee is optimistic about the upcoming Annual Fund campaign.

This year the committee will be under the leadership of new chairpersons, John and Paula McClung, parents of Alison McClung '98. The McClungs, of Mendota Heights, Minnesota, are enthusiastic about their daughter's experience at the College and their opportunity to guide the Parents Annual Fund. "We are happy to help," they say, "because we believe that Ithaca provides unique educational opportunities, and with parental support will continue to do so."

The consistent dedication and generosity of Ithaca's parents are illustrated in the charts below.
