#ICOFFCAMPUS

★ College life will continue to be affected by COVID-19 in
the years to come, and due to the unprecedented time
brought on by the pandemic, living off campus is now
isolating, which may cause a sense of not belonging to
the campus.
★ First Year Students are often offered the most in terms of
activities that give the students a sense of community.
★ Students living off campus are typically upperclassmen
that have established social circles but may feel
disconnected from IC.
★ Creating an activity box would be a way to engage
students that are living in the Ithaca community more
than the engagement they receive from online/hybrid
classes.

★
Thinking of a new idea we all wanted/could do
All can relate: being remote
○ Not engaging with activity directly
○ Not being able to see it come into fruition
★ Leadership:
○ Responsibility to be honest about our needs and
interests
○ Brainstorming together
○ Be passionate about the project
○ Creating a group vision (we couldn’t see)
We recognize that with this pandemic, Ithaca College, may never go
back to fully in-person education and we feel strongly that this Student
Activity Box can help mitigate future social isolation that one can feel
We foresee that while this project may start off simply as a way to help
the off-campus community with mental health and breaks during periods
of isolation, we hope that expands to build the broader off-campus
community.
We believe that this project can also be taken on and expanded upon by
future leadership classes for many semesters to come.
