The Feb. 17-19 workshop and competition — open to all Skidmore students from all majors — will enable participants to fine-tune their business pitches and develop a prototype for their own creative products and ideas.
Skidmore has been awarded a $505,000 grant through HHMI's Inclusive Excellence 3 (IE3) initiative to support the College’s continued efforts toward creating an inclusive environment for all students.
2022 saw the return of many beloved traditions to campus and marked the start of a yearlong celebration of the College’s Centennial, giving us all reason to pause and reflect on Skidmore’s past, present, and future.
A new health, wellness, fitness, tennis, and athletics center will bring together all aspects of student health and wellness support in a single campus facility.
With the first two phases of the Billie Tisch Center for Integrated Sciences (CIS) now open to Skidmore students, faculty, and staff — and the final phase on target for completion in 2024 — the College cordially invites you to take this interactive virtual tour of the largest single academic project in Skidmore College history.
Skidmore College has announced that Dr. Dorothy E. Mosby will join the Skidmore community in June 2023.

With award-winning dining and dorms, the perfect college town, and 1,000 acres of

is both a comfortable place to return to and a launchpad for exploring the world around
you.

they all work together. With hundreds of student-run clubs, including dozens of sustainability,
health, and wellness programs–you’re invited to explore your unexpected.

“Don't be afraid of unconventional career paths. Just because most of your class, friends or family work in a certain industry does not mean you have to. Combining your interests is easier than you might think. If you work hard and put yourself out there, you'll meet the right people to help you along the way.”

“I don't like sitting around talking about gear or plug-ins. For me, mastering engineering is all about listening! It is about making decisions and having confidence in the creative direction that you have chosen. So be a good listener.”

“The rules of the media industry are ever-changing. It's likely your future job does not exist yet. Embrace disruption and plan for flexibility in response to the unexpected. When making career decisions, think about your next jump. Put yourself in situations that lead to many alternative futures.”
