Wafflefest:
“Finals got you crazed? No need to fear…Wafflefest is here!” So says a promo for the
free de-stressing breakfast offered the night before finals begin. On the late-night menu: Belgian
waffles, berry compote, sausage (both pork and vegan), scrambled eggs, warm apple crisp, fruit
and yogurt bar, dessert pizzas, and more. Warning: Get there early, because everyone goes!
The North Woods:
Skidmore’s 250-acre North Woods is a mixed northern hardwood forest that’s
home to more than 660 species of plants including rare ferns, animals like the red-spotted newt
and painted turtle, and a wide variety of birds migrating through or staying to breed. A living lab
for natural science and other classes, the woodlands features a trail system perfect for hiking,
cross-country skiing, and simply getting away.
MB 107:
Each semester, some 125 students in 20 teams prep and pitch real business plans for real
companies to real execs, who grill them and grade them on the spot. That’s the challenge of MB 107,
Skidmore’s intro business course. Developing a strategy tailored to Netflix, American Express, or the
Gap and selling it to savvy experts is an experience that bonds nearly 7,000 Skidmore alumni and
convinces many students to take up Skidmore’s most popular major.
Great people:
Making the adjustment to college isn’t easy. Luckily, Skidmore’s strongest points are
the closeness you will find in friends, classmates, and very importantly, professors. These people
are rooting for you! They will help lead you in the right direction because Skidmore offers a strong
sense of family. You are not just a number here.
