From spring to fall 2025, Cody Acquista has volunteered with Finger Lakes Reuse for his third year, contributing to promotional video content and assisting with store assortment for the non-profit organization. He has continued his social media work with Ithaca Arts, a self-created platform that celebrates all art-related activities across the Ithaca College campus. Resuming his role as Digital Storytelling Director of Park Promotions, Cody loves shaping stories that translate across the screen. From Park School student interviews to helping promote Park’s Distinguished Visitor, Jesse Eisenberg, Cody is a very active member of the Park community. He was honored to receive the Peggy Ryan Williams Award for Academic and Community Leadership and an induction into Ithaca College’s Chapter of Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society this past spring. This fall, Cody was named a semifinalist in the Austin Film Festival for his short screenplay, Calm Down, a piece shedding light on grief and mental health in a not-so-distant world. He looks forward to beginning his senior thesis, continuing to act, and preparing for Ithaca’s Los Angeles Program in Spring 2026, where he hopes to expand his creative and professional endeavors.
