Ithaca College

Politics professor, Asma Barlas, was part of a cohort of alumni of the Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS), University of Denver, Colorado, who were invited to team-teach an interterm course on the Impact of Race, Ethnicity and Culture on International Relations, from August 19-30. The course was offered partly in response to some alumni’s interest in diversifying the curriculum of GSIS, now the Josef Korbel School of International Studies. The other alumni were Dr. Ahmed Samatar, James Wallace professor of International Studies and founding dean of Macalester’s Institute for Global Citizenship, and Dr. Cindy Courville, the first African-American ambassador of the US to the African Union. The course was organized by professor Edward Thomas Rowe, a former dean of GSIS.

In the early 2000s a novel concept arose in the design of a portal that allowed students to apply online and check the status of their application.  That creation was the myIthaca portal.  This gateway helped each student navigate through the application process in a personalized fashion.  After 5 years a new feature was added, IC Peers, that allowed applicants to chat directly with one another to build relationships.  This social media activity in myIthaca and IC Peers has been an integral part of our student recruitment and enrollment.
