Ithaca College

Thank you for joining us.

And don't forget about the other amazing podcasts here with The Ithacan.

You can find them wherever you get your podcasts or on theithacan.org. Today, I am so happy to be joined by senior broadcaster.

If I listed all of your accolades, it would take me a while.

Look, it doesn't get better than that.

That's absolutely crazy.

And you also look at the marketing to general Ithaca College students.

Hey, come to Ithaca College.

And next in line is Ithaca.

Ithaca College doubles Ithaca's not in the same category as Clemson or Southern Cal or Syracuse for that matter.

They have financial issues.

I've done, we've had them on the College Financial Health Show with Matt Hendricks and Gary Stocker.

Ithaca College doubles its projected fiscal year 27 deficit to $8 million.

All right, this came from the student newspaper again, and then maybe we're seeing some new activism from student newspapers, student organizations on these colleges and their financial health.

This one is from the Ithacan, which is a student newspaper.

And he's basically saying, look, despite the fact that I've got this very burdensome tale i'm still standing here this is an honest signal of my phenotypic quality choose me as your partner right and so i took this idea and i said surely since consumer human consumers are also animals by the way you don't know how heretical it is for me to say that in front of business school colleagues they all sort of squirm because in their view humans transcend biology, right? Biology matters for the mosquito, for the zebra, for the dog, but surely you're not saying, Professor Saad, that humans are animals.

Yes, I'm exactly saying that, right? So we did a big study, this is myself and a former graduate student of mine, John Vungas, he's now at Ithaca College, where we actually rented an actual Porsche.

Try to get a granting agency to release money for you because you're going to do research with that Porsche.

That might have been the most impressive part of this study.

No, I don't know.

The Senate of Pennsylvania, whereas the Senate of Pennsylvania is always pleased to recognize those individuals who, through their laudable tenure of service, contribute in a meaningful way towards the well-being of their communities and this Commonwealth, and whereas Jack Holcomb is being honored upon 70 years of dedicated service to WEEU AM 830, and whereas a graduate of Ithaca College, this is the interesting stuff, Mr. Holcomb joined the staff at WEEU in October 1956 and served as an announcer, a disc jockey, and a sports broadcaster.

In 1965, he began hosting the birdwatching program that later became Bird Talk.

He accepted the additional hosting duties of the Feedback Call-In Program in 1979 and guided conversations on a wide range of topics for more than 20 years.

That's right.

He also taught at Ithaca College.

I did not see their mascot.

So let's just say the Fighting Ignatiuses.

Oh, I bet.

Very sadly, he was a lifelong, like, three to four pack a day.

By the way, Ithaca College, Bombers, go Bombers.

Oh, okay.

We have our original office out of Phelps, New York, which is exactly halfway between Rochester and Syracuse.

And then we have an office out of Ithaca, New York, where Cornell University, Ithaca College is.

And then the other two offices that we have, one out of Rochester, one out of Syracuse, are sales offices.

We started as a plumbing HVAC electric company.

So a whole bunch of years later, we had an opportunity.

We do a lot of work in Ithaca.

There was a professor from Ithaca College who that do of us because she's there.

She's a Chinese doctor at Ithaca College.
