YourIthaca E-news

May 2003

A Note from the Director of Alumni Relations

The alumni e-newsletter has a new name: yourIthaca. Many thanks to the alumni who suggested names and participated in our online poll last month. The overwhelming choice of the online community members who voted, yourIthaca will continue to bring you news from Ithaca College, as well as events and information geared specifically toward our alumni. Spring has finally arrived in Ithaca, and we look forward to welcoming more than 1400 new graduates to the alumni association during commencement on May 18th. And for current alumni, what better way to celebrate spring than by returning to Ithaca? See how the College has grown, enjoy the natural beauty of the Finger Lakes, and reunite with classmates during Alumni Weekend (May 29-June 1).We hope to see you there!
