There are eight new Skidmore grads teaching English to college students in China. It's a huge learning experience for both groups.- Nearly 100 Skidmore students have participated in the Teach in China program which got its start in 1989. Since then program participation has quadrupled over the years, from an average of 4-5 in the early 1990s to this year's 20. More than 40 Skidmore graduates now apply each year.
