Skidmore College: Why It Matters - page 4-5

WHY SKIDMORE?
•••
MARIE AND I WERE INTRIGUED BY A COLLEGE THAT MADE
THE BOLD CLAIM THAT “CREATIVE THOUGHT MATTERS.”
With
that strong statement and sense of possibility, Skidmore seemed more forward-looking
than other schools. We wanted to be part of an institution that not only espoused deep
values but also was prepared to take risks and move forward with audacity. We both felt
immediately that Skidmore was that kind of place.
Skidmore stands out as that increasingly rare type of college that remains passionately
committed to undergraduate liberal education—liberating the mind, cultivating informed
and responsible citizens, and preparing them for a life of purpose.
Marie and I were also attracted to Skidmore’s campus community and the alumni,
parents, and friends who identified with the College’s mission and its commitment to ex-
cellence. We were convinced there was no better place for us than Skidmore.
