Can’t wait.

Happy open house season! Has been great to meet so many new folks (across a range of disciplines) and share the Park Center for Independent Media work!

Had a great time meeting new people and presenting at the Whalen Research Symposium earlier this week! Thank you for having us, Ithaca College.
