Resource Guide

This resource guide has been developed to support students, staff, and faculty in identifying and locating some of the businesses they may need and enjoy in and around Saratoga and the Capital Region. This guide is a quick look at what our region has to offer. We hope to provide everyone in our college community, especially those with marginalized identities, opportunities to access hair salons, restaurants, grocery stores, places of worship, etc. that are in alignment with their needs and cultural traditions.

Businesses and resources in this guide are within about a 45 minute drive from the Skidmore campus and we have prioritized those that are recommended by individual Skidmore students, staff, and faculty when possible. Please note that none of these businesses are endorsed by Skidmore College and that Skidmore College is not responsible for the experience or service you have when visiting / attending. If you need support with transportation to these establishments, please contact Hillary Montague-Asp, Director of Student Diversity and Inclusion.

We know we have not captured all that the Capital Region has to offer and that these businesses and resources will change over time. If you have a business or resource you'd like to add to this list, please email the Office of Student Diversity and Inclusion!
