Ithaca College filled another key position within the Division for Student Affairs and Campus Life, officially announcing the hiring of Angélica Carrington as the new director for the Center for Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity and Social Change (IDEAS). The announcement comes following an extensive national search process, chaired by Hierald Osorto, former executive director of student equity and belonging. Carrington is set to officially begin her tenure at Ithaca College on Tuesday, January 18, 2022.
“Our Ithaca College strategic plan provides an invaluable framework toward student success, renewed and robust diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, and retention,” said Luca Maurer, who was recently named interim executive director of student equity and belonging following the conclusion of Osorto’s tenure at Ithaca College. “As the new leader for the Center for IDEAS, Angélica Carrington brings the vision and experience that can make these come alive. A student affairs professional with a broad understanding of systems, the value of collaboration and the central and enduring focus of helping students thrive - particularly students who are underserved and underrepresented in higher education - Angélica will step into this role at an urgent moment of need and possibility. Angélica will join the IDEAS team, our students and our colleagues across campus to propel this work forward from diversity and inclusion to equity and justice.”
