You Make the IC Difference

This year's report on how your gift to support the IC experience makes an impact

Dear Alumni and Friends,

Your generosity continues to shape the future of Ithaca College. This year’s impact report is a tribute to you—our alumni, families, faculty, and staff—whose support fuels student success and expands opportunity every day. From the vibrant energy of Giving Day on (and off) campus to the daily ripple effects of your contributions, your belief in our mission is felt across our community.

One of the most exciting developments this year is the launch of the IC Career Center Internship Fund. Thanks to your support, students with financial need can now access unpaid or underpaid internships—experiences that are often critical to launching meaningful careers. In fields such as media, business, politics, and the sciences, students are gaining hands-on experiences that will propel their professional lives forward.

Endowed funds like the Greg Bostwick and Julia Bonney ’72 Fund and the Harriet Kern London Center Scholarship are also enriching the arts and global learning. And your generosity is transforming our campus—from a new NCAA-compliant track and field facility to the Tech Innovation Summer Academy, which brings high school students to South Hill to innovate and grow.

Your support creates lasting change—but there’s more to do. With your continued help, we can ensure every student has the resources to thrive and lead with purpose. Together, we’re building a future full of promise.

Sincerely,

La Jerne Terry Cornish
President

Laine Norton
Vice President for Advancement
