ITHACA, N.Y. – Ithaca College Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreational Sports Susan Bassett '79 is pleased to announce that Janet Judge, Esq. will address the College's student-athletes at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, November 2.

Judge is coming to campus to speak to Ithaca's student-athletes in an effort to educate them on the benefits and potential pitfalls associated with social media.

The event, titled Social Media and the Student-Athlete, is sponsored by Ithaca College Athletics and will be held in Ford Hall Auditorium.

Judge, who serves as president of Sports law Associates LLC., has decades of experience with a broad range of legal issues. She is a well-known advisor to numerous colleges and universities on a variety of sport-related issues, including strategic program development, NCAA eligibility, infractions and clarification, EADA compliance, contracts, pay equity, Title IX, harassment, hazing, academic fraud and student-athlete misconduct.

With the long-lasting impact that a single post to a social media account can have, knowing how to avoid potentially negative consequences is even more important in maintaining the reputation of student-athletes.

Please join us on Monday, November 2 for what should be an enlightening conversation.
