On September 14, students from Cornell University, Ithaca College, and Tompkins Cortland Community College gathered in downtown Ithaca for a day of exploration and engagement. The event featured performances by university groups, including the Big Red Marching Band and Cornell Lion Dance, showcasing the diverse talents of the student body. A treasure hunt through local businesses introduced newcomers to the vibrant downtown scene, while free TCAT bus services facilitated easy transportation between campuses and the city center. This collaborative effort, organized by the Tatkon Center for New Students and local partners, aimed to integrate students into the broader Ithaca community.
