This new, combined weekend creates one shared celebration for our entire IC community—intentionally bringing together alumni, current students, families, and supporters so each group can connect more deeply with what makes Ithaca College distinctive. Families will tap into the energy and traditions of Homecoming, while alumni will experience today’s student life more directly. By uniting these weekends, we’re expanding the weekend, creating a more dynamic, connected campus.
