ANNUAL REPORT: 2010-2011 Program (Housing Offering a Multicultural Experience). Finally, Park Scholars participate in biannual seminars that make use of readings and screenings to explore issues key to the field of communications. Last year Scholars discussed visual culture and the ethical implications of images that depict trauma and suffering, while this year finds them focusing on gender, specifically the role that gendered narratives have served both in conceptualizing post-9/11 cultural and political responses as well as shaping the last presidential election. LEADERSHIP & INVOLVEMENT Park Scholars are natural leaders. They exhibit initiative, drive, and follow-through, and are actively involved with leadership programs on the Ithaca College campus. Over the past year, Park Scholars have held numerous leadership positions, among them: student trustee, Ithaca College Board of Trustees; upfront editors, Buzzsaw magazine; editor in chief, 360 Magazine; president, Habitat for Humanity; president, IC Hope for Haiti; news and views editor, Buzzsaw magazine; vice president of communications, Student Government Association; vice president, the International Association of Business Communicators; web editor, Buzzsaw magazine; vice president, IC Bigs; president, Food for Thought; opinion editor, The Ithacan; vice president, IC Gamers; art editor, Buzzsaw magazine; co-president, Active Minds; design editor, 360 Magazine; co-president, IC STAND; and executive director, Student Activities Board. In addition, Park Scholars serve as executive board members for organizations such as the United Way Philanthropy Corps; IC Human Rights; and Labor Initiative in Promoting Solidarity. Finally, Scholars serve as members of the senior class cabinet, as well as leaders for Orientation and Community Plunge, programs that help to introduce first-year students to Ithaca College and community service. SERVICE & COMMITMENT Park Scholars are dedicated to service. In addition to individual commitments to service, the Scholars have combined forces through a series of coordinated partnerships with local organizations. Scholars select projects based upon areas of interest; cross-class links are encouraged and upper-level Park Scholars assume leadership roles. This year, Park Scholars are participating in a number of service partnerships that utilize their exceptional talents, such as: producing a promotional video for The Discovery Trail Partnership, providing marketing and event planning support to the Community School of Music and Arts, and assisting Better Housing for Tompkins County with its marketing efforts through the production of a promotional video and the documentation of its various projects; facilitating elementary-level media literacy instruction at Ithaca Community Childcare Center and South Hill Elementary School, pioneering an elementary level Film Club at Ithaca Community Childcare Center, and developing a high school media literacy program at New Roots Charter School; collaborating with the Ithaca City School District on its external communications needs through writing stories for the district’s website, while also serving as “school liaisons” for the district’s partnerships with The Ithaca Journal and Tompkins Weekly; and using their marketing and event planning skills to coordinate “Concert for a Cure,” an annual concert that raises funds to support the American Cancer Society and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. CONCLUSION The Park Scholar Program enriches lives. It is the goal of the Park Scholar Program to develop communications scholars and practitioners who engage critically, act globally, and perform ethically. It nurtures students whose intellectual and professional aspirations embrace a commitment to the world around them. The Park Scholars are integral members of the Ithaca College community, and through their commitment to overall and individual achievement, leadership, and service, they enhance and expand the intellectual, cocurricular, and service environment at Ithaca College. As the Park Scholar Program continues to attract more outstanding students to Ithaca College and the Roy H. Park School of Communications, the faculty, staff, and students continue to benefit. We look forward to sharing the achievements of these students with you now and in the future. 3
