Connecting people and ideas, and spanning every corner of Ithaca College, the fall 2022 Ithaca Seminars lineup will feature approximately 50 faculty members – representing 4 Schools and approximately 20 Departments – exploring a range of dynamic topics with our first-year students. These interdisciplinary seminars showcase the breadth of expertise of IC’s faculty and their collective committment to first-year student success.
Now in their 18th annual offering at Ithaca College, and a key part of the ICC (Integrative Core Curriculum), this foundational all-College program of dedicated first-year seminars welcomes each and every IC student to the aspirations of an Ithaca College education, with an emphasis on a liberal education sensitive to the wider professional contexts of a comprehensive college.
Brand new topics for 2022 include:
- Science in the Media
- Mindfulness Across the Lifespan
- Benjamin Franklin and the American Dream: An Inquiry into Our Founding Values
- Contemporary American Controversies
- Inclusion 101: It’s a Process, Not a Place
- Illuminati (Not) Confirmed: Exploring the World of Conspiracy Theories
