Thank You and Farewell to Rick Watson

By Jeffrey Golden, August 25, 2022

Congratulations, Rick!

After more than 15 years of service to Ithaca College and the IC community, Rick Watson, Director of Campus Stores, will be leaving the College for a new role with Oak Hall Cap & Gown. Oak Hall is a family-owned regalia manufacturer that has been in continuous operation since 1889. Rick will be working as a Territory Manager and will be covering a territory which extends from New York to Maine.

In his time at Ithaca College, Rick has overseen a dramatic overhaul of the store and its operations. He has been instrumental in modernizing and streamlining the College's retail platforms, leaving the College well prepared to carry its merchandise and apparel business into the future. Rick will be leaving the store better than he found it, and I and the rest of the Auxiliary Services team would like to thank him for his service and dedication to the College. We wish him the very best as he tackles his next adventure.

Good luck, Rick!
