Full house at yesterday’s Experience Ithaca admitted student event. Thank you to all who attended and all who made this possible. In H&S, we had 20+ faculty across 6 building, and saw over 300 attendees. A big shout to Te-Wen Lo (Biology), Raul Palma (Writing & HSDean), Emily Eichinger (Biology + Psychology major), and Bailey Bramer (Writing major and art minor). They led an engaging panel on community and collaboration.

Yesterday, we held a reception to celebrate the achievements of first-year H&S students who made the Deans List. We asked them to each contribute a line to a poem, reflecting on their journey at IC, from the ups to the downs, and this was the result. Let’s give it up for our cohort of first-year Deans List awardees.

Make your mark at Ithaca College through art. As a student in our art program, you’ll master professional skills and techniques, and you’ll engage in opportunities to think, talk, and write about art. Students choose from a wide range of classes in drawing, painting, sculpture, print media, graphic design, digital art, book arts, and paper making. Our art students also participate in the H&S Summer Scholars program, an opportunity to work on an advanced project in the summer months. Read about these opportunities in our bio.

“‘Power to the people!’ So goes the familiar slogan of 1960s racial justice politics. The message is clear: the fight against racism is a fight for greater democracy—for the rule of “the people.” And yet, across American history, movements of racial backlash have also framed themselves as aiming to deliver greater democracy and redeem the rule of “the people.” Examples abound, ranging from the Southern Redeemers who overthrew Reconstruction, to the “populist” backlash to the civil rights movement, and the white revanchism of our own time. How is it that we find claims to greater democracy on both sides of these struggles? What does this reveal about modern democracy, popular sovereignty, and the peculiar politics of race in America?“ Learn more about Professor Gorup’s research and work in the classroom. See our bio.
