“You now stride into the world as you once strode onto this campus, perhaps full of questions and doubts but also full of the talent, energy and ambition that will enable you to tackle every challenge. Embrace that world and revel in its challenges. But do so from the powerful base created by the knowledge and values you developed during your time here at Ithaca College. Don’t just conserve what you love; defend what you love with everything you have.”

-- President Thomas R. Rochon
