The Ithaca Seminars welcome instructors from all areas of the College to teach a unique seminar experience that blends small-class instruction on a topic of your choosing with a special commitment to welcoming each first-year cohort into the world of ideas and opportunities that is higher education, in general, and Ithaca College, in particular.
With an emphasis on cultivating the transformative potential of a college education, and smoothing the transition from school to college, the unique impact of this first-semester experience fits the more general model of a 'first-year seminar,' a focused educational experience that is a 'high-impact educational practice' (as described by the AACU).
