Welcome, Families!

Parents, grandparents, and families are more involved with their students than ever before, so welcome to our family webpage.

Transitioning from high school and home to college and living away is not always smooth and easy. Ithaca has many resources and caring faculty and staff to assist your child to adjusting and thriving in their college lives.

College students are in closer touch with their families, seeking their parents' advice and guidance more than previous generations. In turn, parents today are far more engaged with their children's day-to-day college experiences.

We want you to be aware of the programs, resources, and activities available to students. We encourage families to mark your calendar for Family Weekend, review our history, sign up for the parents e-newsletter and campus announcements, refer great students to Ithaca, attend events on and off campus, and more.

We believe that many facets of this family involvement trend are very positive and we hope to establish ourselves as a supportive partner in this dialogue. Here at IC we are proud of our engaged and enthusiastic community of parents and family members, and want to give them every opportunity to stay informed about their students' experiences on campus.

Together we can help your student make the transition and thrive at Ithaca College. Welcome!

All the best,
