Learn more about Spring Welcome!

What is Spring Welcome?

Spring Welcome will be a combination of in-person and virtual events for students to safely interact within the campus community. Throughout the month of February, students will have the option of joining events like a Virtual Movie Night, signing up to take an on-campus tour, practicing social distance hanging around a fire pit making s’mores and so much more! 

How do I register for Spring Welcome?

Students interested in any event within Spring Welcome will be able to register through IC Engage using the links provided in the schedule above. For students planning to attend in-person events it is very important to be following all health and safety guidelines set by the state of New York and Ithaca College, including but is not limited to: properly wearing a mask over nose and mouth, actively testing in the campus testing cycle, and practicing social distancing by maintaining a minimum of six-feet distance whenever possible.

What safety protocols are in place for Spring Welcome?

Most of the Spring Welcome in-person programs will be hosted outside to allow for maximum social distancing. We will be utilizing a preregistration form and socially distant check-in to ensure that students participating have provided all necessary information to event hosts. All events will require a mask properly worn (over your nose and mouth) and students must stay 6 ft from one another. That said, while we are excited to host these programs for students, we must all protect the Bomber Bubble. It is the responsibility of all students and staff to make safe choices which allows us the opportunity to host these programs. We will be closely monitoring weather and COVID-19 to make critical decisions about extra health and safety measures. We reserve the right to alter and/or cancel programs with the safety of all in mind.
 
For students who would prefer to engage online, we will also offer many virtual programs.
