Class of 2008

Title: Student, Ithaca College
Hometown: Newark Valley
Background: Justine was a Service Tradition of TC3 recipient, spent a semester in London as part of a human services internship, and concluded her TC3 experience by speaking to her class at the 2008 commencement ceremony, the first ever held in TC3’s new athletic facility. Upon graduating, Justine transferred to Ithaca College.

How’s Ithaca College? It’s been really great. It’s very big here compared to TC3, but I like my professors and classes. I’m not on campus much, but everyone in classes and groups are nice. I do miss TC3 though.

The personal touch? One thing about having such a mix of types of students at TC3 is that everybody is different and very social. I miss a lot of the people from my classes. They were so open and friendly.

Do you still keep in touch with people from TC3? I do, as best as I can. There were some people in my classes, I called them my TC3 Moms. I still talk to them sometimes. I miss having them around.

And you’re working, still keeping busy? I work for the Franziska Racker Centers, mentoring children (Justine studies sociology at Ithaca College). And in the summer I did some work at a church camp. And with school, I keep busy.
