Ithaca Crew Takes on Move-In Day

At the beginning of every year, nervous and eager freshman drive onto campus to begin their journeys as Ithaca College students. In order to assist new students and parents with the daunting task of moving into the dorms, Ithaca College has a move in crew made up of students and faculty in order to make the move in process a little more tolerable. 14 members of the Ithaca College Crew Team participated as members in the Move-In Crew, and provided exemplary service to new students and parents. Each student was assigned a dorm, and they would assist with moving students in for 2 hour shifts. A member and captain of the Women’s Crew Team, Krista Syracuse, mentioned that it was funny to watch the reactions of the parents when her and other members of the team would bombard each car, clearing it out in a matter of seconds. In the series of photographs attached, you can see Krista, Rachel Dowd, Madeline Peterson, Ashley Watson, Sarah Muroski and Tara Malone clearing out a full car in 23 seconds! It was great to see Ithaca Crew being represented well off the water, exemplifying hard work ethic and selflessness. We are excited for the Fall Season to start! Please follow the blog and check in for weekly updates about any events, racing results and achievements that the team is involved in!
