Jumpstart
Each August, the Jumpstart pre-orientation program helps new students begin their Ithaca College journey with confidence, connection, and community.
The Jumpstart program is a collaborative effort across many of our Divisional departments and is also supported by 50-60 returning student leaders. The program offers 14 unique interest tracks and offers opportunities to explore the local community, discover campus resources, and meet new friends prior to the start of their first semester on campus.
