From Downtown to Dillingham to Park - our school's legacy began in 1931 with Ithaca College's first course in Radio. From there, communications and media classes expanded. Majors were created. In 1973, the School of Communications was created to encompass a variety of majors in the field of communications and media. The school took on the moniker of the Roy H. Park School of Communications in 1989 with the opening of its own building. And that's just a tiny bit of our incredible history.
During the 2023-24 Academic year, the Roy H. Park School of Communications hosted a series of events to celebrate half a century of becoming a school, and its proud history beforehand.
We had a fantastic time with our big kickoff celebration during Alumni Weekend in Ithaca, October 27-29, 2023. Big thanks to everyone who has joined us - you can see photos from those events here.
We traveled to NYC for the Empowered by Park alumni happy hour featuring five illuminating young alumni who are making a difference through media. Watch the video below that was produced by our students in Park Productions celebrating their impressive careers.
