In addition, he sits on the board of directors of ACCION USA, INROADS Chicago, and the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations. He is also a trustee of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

An alumnus of Fairleigh Dickinson University of Teaneck, N.J., Scott earned a bachelor's degree in engineering in 1966 and a master's degree in business administration in 1973. He is a native of Jersey City, N.J., and now resides in Chicago.

The College's annual F. William Harder Lecture was inaugurated in 1985 through the generosity of F. William Harder, a Skidmore parent who served as trustee from 1968 to 1980. The lecture brings together students and faculty with industry leaders to explore the current business environment and the challenges that lie ahead.
