The IC community is invited to celebrate the Ithaca College Women of Distinction award recipients.

The 6th annual Women of Distinction awards recognize women who exhibit leadership and pave the way for women in their fields of expertise; serve as role models and mentors and are committed to advancing women; and give back to the IC community through their time, talent, and resources. The Office of Student Engagement sponsors a call for nominations each February and hosts an annual ceremony and reception recognizing the recipients in March.
