These sections of campus are home to outdoor classrooms, research projects, walking trails, and much more. While some areas are reserved for projects to preserve biological diversity and maintain and enhance ecosystems, others are used for classes like Environmental Sentinels, Outdoor Adventure Pursuits, and even a simulated archaeological dig site. Check out the Natural Lands, whether by exploring them in your free time or taking one of these cool courses !
VISIT THE NATURAL LANDS Student Org Spotlight: IC Young Entrepreneurs Organization  The Ithaca College Young Entrepreneurs Organization is student run. Our goal is to foster entrepreneurship and generate business ideas through interactive discussions, guest speakers, case studies, and live demo days. We also work with members who want to start their own businesses. We are open to all students regardless of major; there are no requirements to join except a desire to learn more about entrepreneurship!
LEARN MORE ABOUT IC YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS Community Connection: The Aurora Streatery  The Aurora Streatery is located in the 100-block of Aurora Street (just down the hill from campus); the block is closed to cars in order to provide space for outdoor dining for the many eateries on Ithaca’s so-called “restaurant row.” Staples include Red’s Place, Viva!, Mahogany Grill, Luna’s Street Food, and more. It’s a great place to enjoy an evening in Ithaca!
