College measures interest in trip to NYC during Cortaca Jug 2022
Ithaca College has released a survey in an effort to measure student interest in a trip to New York City centered around the 2022 Cortaca Jug game at Yankee Stadium. Survey responses will be collected up until April 15. The results of the survey will determine if the Cortaca 2022 Planning Committee will move forward with planning this sponsored weekend trip. The survey has eight questions to find what activities interested students would like to have included in the trip. The questions will also help determine a realistic price point that would make the trip affordable. The link to the survey can be found on Intercom or on the social media accounts of the planning committee.
Professor holds vocal workshop to teach vocal impression basics
The Center for Faculty Excellence hosts many trainings and workshops for faculty. Kathleen Mulligan, professor in the Department of Theatre Arts, is facilitating a short workshop to teach the basics of healthy vocal production, including breath support, tonal focus and optimal pitch. The workshop will be held from 3 to 4 p.m. April 19 in 316 Gannett Hall. The workshop is designed to improve attendee’s vocal impressions, which have a lasting effect on interactions with others. A positive vocal image can also build self-confidence and reduce fatigue. Those with questions or accommodation requests regarding this event are asked to contact [email protected].
Events raise assault awareness with education and discussions
April is sexual assault awareness month. The college’s Sexual Violence Prevention Committee (SVPC) has planned events and programs during this time to educate and raise awareness on sexual violence. So far, two events have been held: a community art project and a Q&A discussion with Jen Huemmer, assistant professor in the Department of Strategic Communication and creator of the “Good Girls Don’t Tell” documentary. The Office of Public Safety and Emergency Management is hosting a learning session about the Rave Guardian app on April 11 and again April 25. The app provides campus community members with many on-campus and off-campus support services and resources. The training will help attendees to learn how to operate the Rave Guardian app. Elyse Nepa can be contacted with any questions or requests for accommodations at [email protected]. During lunch April 12 SVPC will host a showing of the documentary “Miss Representation” as well as a discussion afterward on the movie’s content. This documentary explores the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The documentary challenges the media’s portrayal of powerful women. Individuals with any questions or requests for accommodations for this event can contact [email protected].
