Leading ladies

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (at right) meets with college presidents Shirley Jackson of Rensselaer Polytechnic, and Skidmore’s Jamienne S. Studley at Scribner House, the home of Skidmore presidents. The Sunday breakfast gathering also included Karen Hitchcock, president of the University at Albany, and Jean Neff, president of the Sage Colleges. The five had “a lively, far-reaching exchange,” says Studley, about student aid and expanding opportunities to attend college, parental involvement in education, the regional economy, and women in leadership roles. —SR
