West Virginia Alabama Mississippi Georgia Texas Louisiana Alaska Hawaii Number of Applicants 1-5 6-14 15+ Florida A brochure and biannual e-newsletters informed prospective students about the Park Scholar Award and aided recruitment. The brochure was sent to approximately 13,000 students and 7,300 guidance counselors and educational agencies identified by the Ithaca College Office of Admission, while Ithaca College admission counselors also used the brochures as a marketing tool as they traveled throughout the country. Moreover, while the winter edition of our e-newsletter was sent to 13,000 high school seniors in December 2010, last June’s summer edition was sent to approximately 105,000 high school juniors and sophomores, in order to target prospective Scholars earlier in their college search. This year’s Park Scholar recipients were selected from a group of 28 finalists who visited Ithaca March 27 – March 29, 2011 to participate in interviews, classroom visits, and various other campus activities. Members of the Park Scholar Review Committee met with each finalist in sessions lasting 45-50 minutes. Additionally, committee members facilitated small group discussions and activities in which finalists discussed topics of social and media importance. Following the campus visit, the committee reconvened to make final decisions and notified recipients within a week. In order to select a group of finalists to bring to campus for interviews, the Park Scholar Review Committee worked carefully and diligently. The committee was comprised of five faculty members and administrators, one Park Scholar alumnus, and three senior Park Scholars, who represent a variety of experience and expertise working with students at Ithaca College. Each member of the committee read applications, participated in discussions about the applicants, and helped make final decisions. 11

The class of 2015 came to Ithaca College a week before the start of classes to get to know one another, familiarize themselves with the campus, and serve the Ithaca community. Led by six Park Scholar orientation leaders, members of the class of 2015 participated in a three-day program including a full day of teambuilding on campus and at Cornell’s Hoffman Challenge Course. In addition, first-year Park Scholars assembled for a workshop on community service, during which Scholars explored various strategies for utilizing media in order to provide service to local, national, and global nonprofits. Following the Park Scholar orientation program, Scholars participated in the Community Plunge Program organized through Ithaca College’s Office of Student Engagement and Multicultural Affairs. A three-day service event, Plunge proved vital to introducing Scholars to service in the greater Ithaca area. First-year Park Scholars begin to create a community through teambuilding exercises. 12
