Quick Update: NYFLC!

By Christina Tudor March 23, 2015

I’m going to preface this post by saying that I am completely exhausted and a little bit delirious so I’ll make this quick update. I’m currently laying in a bed in a hotel room outside Washington,...

Letter to the Editor: Ithaca College needs to address women separately

By Becky Sims October 28, 2014

My husband and I graduated from Ithaca College in 2009. Recently, a letter arrived from the Ithaca College Annual Fund addressed to "Mr. and Mrs. William Sims." In over a year of marriage, I had not received...

Golden Age of Female Superheroes May Be Around the Corner

By Jared Wolf April 8, 2014
