As the majority of students prepare their bus tickets, check over their boarding passes and fill up the gas tanks of their family cars, Ithaca College prepares to close down campus for Thanksgiving break. The college’s classrooms will go dark, and with them, any major presence of a student body for the week. Despite most students returning home for the interim, some students are here to stay. The remaining students will find there is very little to do on campus once the break begins. With Dining Services and academic buildings closed, the minuscule numbers of students and staff result in a low amount of entertaining and community-bonding events. 

The Ithacan asked students what Thanksgiving food they are looking forward to Nov. 16 on the quad. 

The college sent a message to the campus community Nov. 30 stating that classes will be canceled but that the college will remain open otherwise.
