Step right up
From the alumni board president: From the alumni board president:Every fall the alumni association’s board of directors gives all entering students a complimentary prepaid phone card. Our message to these students is the importance of staying connected and communicating. That message pertains to us as alumni as well. We spend only four years at Skidmore, but we maintain the Skidmore connection for the rest of our lives, keeping up with the friends we made at Skidmore and perhaps attending functions offered by the regional alumni clubs around the country. But there are many other ways to stay connected to Skidmore, particularly through volunteer service. You can interview applicants for admission, serve as a class officer, join the organizers of your regional Skidmore club, or help find a job for a current Skidmore student. Whatever you choose to do, I can assure you that you will find it fun and rewarding, and it will draw you closer to Skidmore. And remember that all volunteers are invited back to campus each spring for Leadership Council. The alumni board is pleased to present the following information to help alumni get involved with Skidmore. And any time you have questions or ideas about how your alumni board can serve you better, we hope you’ll let us know.
