The associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, who died Friday, visited the Saratoga Race Course and had dinner at Scribner House, the Skidmore College president’s residence, in 2000.
The first phase of Skidmore’s Center for Integrated Sciences (CIS), the largest single academic initiative in College history, has been completed and is open for the fall semester.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the cancellation of Liberty League competition this fall, student-athletes and all Skidmore students continue to enjoy lots of opportunities to stay active this semester.
U.S. News & World Report has ranked Skidmore No. 36 among national liberal arts colleges on its 2021 Best Colleges list and placed it in the top 50 in the “Best Undergraduate Teaching” and “Best Value School” categories.
As promised in President Marc Conner's first day message on July 1, the College has launched a yearlong series of projects that seek to address the realities of racial injustice locally, nationally and globally.
Skidmore is a creative community of individuals, and the masks we wear to protect our community are no exception.
Skidmore students are starting a new academic year by embracing the “truly heroic action” needed to tackle COVID-19 while also looking forward to the promise of learning and memorable experiences.
The new faculty bring a commitment to teaching and wide-ranging expertise to Skidmore as the College delivers its liberal arts curriculum in person, online and through hybrid means.
As Skidmore returns to campus, faculty are re-imagining the fall semester as an opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience grappling with a complex world shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“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.”
