Welcome Home
Congratulations on working your way through the first days of
college. I remember starting my first year here at IC, trying to fit-in
and make it to class on time. Two years later I am still trying to do
both! Just kidding, I have several alarm clocks now and am glad to
finally have a major (after being Exploratory for two years) and some
great friends.
Now that you are living on campus for the better part of the year,
Ithaca is your home and the Ithaca community is your family. I was
lucky enough to spend my entire summer in Ithaca and I remember this
feeling I had driving home from grocery shopping one day. You know that
feeling when you're driving around your hometown and you don't have to
think about what turns to make on which street because you know the
look and feel of the land? I had that feeling for the first time this
summer, and it was wonderful. My hope for you all is that you too can
find your place in the welcoming community that is Ithaca.
The first couple weeks of classes can be pretty overwhelming. Between
figuring out where everything is on campus and finding a balance for
your classes and social life, getting involved might be the last thing
on your mind. This week's issue is packed with different information
sessions and meetings for organizations you can be a part of on campus.
Don't let these opportunities pass you by before the semester has even
started! Two big events I strongly encourage you to attend are the
Involvement Fair and the INVOLVED Recruitment Night on September 5th.
The Involvement Fair is a wonderful way to check out many of the
organizations you can be a part of and make a difference with on
campus. INVOLVED is a way for first year students to get to know one
another in small groups with upperclassmen as leaders, not only showing
you what events are on campus but also the city of Ithaca. Be sure to
check out these events and all others that are going on in the next
couple weeks!!

their relationship to leadership. During the retreat, the entire group
will participate in a series of educational sessions and discuss issues
as a large group, as well as in smaller, informal conversations. For
