Application of Knowledge


Business majors working with local businesses to gain experienceSaratoga-Skidmore Entrepreneurial Partnership (SSEP) is designed to enable Skidmore's business majors to work with local businesses.  Each participating business is paired with a business major eager to apply his or her up-to-date education and training. This may be particularly helpful to business owners who lack the time, training, or inclination to engage in the detailed planning required to help their businesses achieve long-term goals.

Water Resources Initiative is a resource for local water researchThe Water Resources Initiative (WRI) at Skidmore brings together students, faculty, and community partners in the investigation of local water issues. Through courses and research, WRI helps the community better understand the multiple perspectives that influence how we interact with our water resources on both a local and global scale. The data collected through WRI research makes valuable contributions to the academic literature on water issues and to local community discussions. The program is administered by Skidmore's interdepartmental Environmental Studies Program.
