A Note from the Director of Alumni Relations
Will this be the summer you return to Ithaca? It's beautiful here (remember?), so what better place for a weekend getaway--especially when you combine it with Alumni Weekend? You can reconnect with your classmates; stay in newly remodeled dorms for about $25 a night (per person); explore the campus (you'll be amazed at the changes); shop, eat, and play on the Commons and at the Ithaca Festival; tour the wineries; hike a gorge; swim under a waterfall.
We've planned lots of fun events for the whole family. And this year we'll be marking the 50th anniversary of the School of Humanities and Sciences and the 75th anniversary of the Ithacan with special festivities. We'll also be celebrating the class reunions for class years that end in 1 and 6. But all alumni are invited to Alumni Weekend!
Come enjoy a festive, fun, and unforgettable weekend in Ithaca.
Deadline: May 19

ICQ Alumni Spotlight: David Boreanaz '91
He's no longer Angel. Former TV vampire David Boreanaz '91 stars in a new series, Bones.
David Boreanaz '91 has come back from the dead. Well, not really. But for the first time in nine years the star of the television shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel is not playing a vampire but a living, breathing person.
With a legion of fans, great reviews, a prime-time slot, and, of course, an Ithaca College education, there is nothing to indicate that Bones, his third television show, won't also be a hit.
