Director’s Note: Enjoying Summer
We cannot believe that “school” starts in less than a month! As you likely know, Cornell plans to be just about 100% live come this fall term, and we hope that our many international students will be able to get back to Ithaca! The Delta variant is a bit unpredictable, but so far the situation is quite stable here in Tompkins County. We are gearing up for our eShip Kickoff event on September 9th, which will be held at our eHub Collegetown location. Speaking of which, in case you did not hear, the brand new Student Agencies property at the entry way to Collegetown is just about ready to open! And it will feature a full service Ithaca Brewery restaurant and pub on the first floor (where Collegetown Bagels used to be and before that Olivers!). Hope to see many of you in the fall as things open up. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
