LGBT Center 10th Anniversary

Ithaca College LGBT and Allied Alumni Facebook page

*********************

Our LGBT and Allied Alumni reunion is coming up fast and we're especially excited because this year marks the 10th anniversary of the Center for LGBT Education, Outreach, and Services. Hard to believe it's already been 10 years!

If you haven't registered for our reunion this October 14-16 during Fall Splash (alumni weekend), now is the time to do it. Register by October 4 to be cut in on the fun events and programs planned, including: a huge picnic on the quad and an amazing gala celebrating the official dedication of the College's new Athletics and Events Center.

We already have plans in place for a LGBT and allied alumni social Friday evening, October 14, to kick off the weekend and that's not our only special event. We also have a panel discussion lined up with LGBTA alumni and leaders on Saturday, followed by an LGBT Center open house. Visit the complete schedule of Fall Splash events for Friday, October 14, and Saturday, October 15, to check out these and other activities during the weekend.

It's been a while since many of us have been in the same place at the same time, so this will be a perfect opportunity to reconnect with old friends and classmates. We think you'll be surprised by the many changes happening on the IC campus, and it's very much worth the visit. E-mail lmaurer@ithaca.edu if you have questions about our plans.

We can't wait to see you!

Sincerely,

Shelley Facente '02, Co-Chair
Ryan Prosser '03, Co-Chair
