Strategic Plan
Upon his arrival at Skidmore in 2003, President Philip A. Glotzbach led a planning
process that produced Engaged Liberal Learning: The Plan for Skidmore College 2005-2015 (the College's Strategic Plan). As described in the Plan's Executive Summary, "This Plan establishes the framework to make the choices required to maintain our forward momentum
and, above all, to realize our aspirations."
To focus the College's collective efforts on advancing the Plan's priority initiatives each year, the President and Cabinet prepare a "Strategic Action
Agenda" each year. Those agendas, along with key reports relating to strategic planning,
appear on this website.
