Oscar Worob '26 - PAC Captain
Major: Management and Business & Economics 
About Me: I am from Montclair, New Jersey, and a member of the Skidmore Ice Hockey team. In my free time I enjoy supporting my favorite New York Sports teams (Rangers, Giants, Mets, and Knicks).
Why PAC?: During my time at Skidmore I have tried to use PAC as much as possible because I believe it is a great resource. I now want to return that favor and be a part of helping my fellow students.
Favorite Class and Why?: My favorite class at Skidmore has been MB107. I really enjoyed learning the basic business principals while applying them to the semester long executive presentation.
Academic Advice: Set a schedule and be organized. Do not be afraid to ask for extra help.
Alex Bonrouhi '27
Major: Management and Business & Economics 
About me: I am from Los Angeles, California and a member of the Skidmore Ice Hockey Team. In my free time, I like to watch my favorite sports teams, the Los Angeles Kings and the Buffalo Bills.
Why PAC?: I utilized PAC during my freshman year for business courses and other subjects. The guidance I received from the coaches was very helpful, so I am happy to return the favor and offer help and direction for students taking business courses.
Favorite class and why?: My favorite class has been MB107 because I learned the foundation for different avenues of business which has helped me in subsequent courses as well as internships outside of school. The executive presentation is a great final project as you and your team collectively pool your groups' knowledge of what you learned over the course of the semester and practice your presentation skills in front of business executives.
Academic Advice: Keep a schedule planner, whether it is digital or by hand. If there is something confusing, do not hesitate to use your resources such as PAC, your professors, or your friends. They are here to help!
Matthew Franzoi '26
Major: Management & Business / Economics 
About me: I am from Toronto, Canada. I enjoy being active, watching sporting events, and listening to music.
Why PAC?: PAC is an excellent resource to help prepare and guide students to achieve improved academic success. I hope to provide the same help I received for all students.
Favorite Class and why?: My favorite class was MB107. The executive presentation allows you to present your ideas to professionals who are already in the business field. This class allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and learn the fundamentals of business.
Academic Advice: Plan your academic commitments ahead of time on a calendar. This is helpful so you do not miss an assignment or commitment. Utilize all resources Skidmore offers such as PAC and office hours.
Tom Fuller '26
Major: Management and Business & Economics 
About Me: I am from Brooklyn, New York, and love business and other subjects. I spend my free time playing sports, socializing, and learning new things. I'm very excited to watch this year's football season.
Why PAC?: I didn't go to PAC much during my freshmen year but when I went the next year to study for my Organizational Behavior test, I realized how useful it was. I became interested in becoming a coach so I could help others feel the same way.
Favorite Class and Why?: My favorite class so far has been marketing because we got to have real conversations about business and current marketing strategies that we see everyday in our life. We also had interactive assignments which were fun and made me even more excited to be a part of a business.
Academic Advice: Don't be afraid to ask for help, especially your teachers and coaches. They are there to help you and want you to succeed. Also, do not wait until the last minute to do everything at once space each class work you have throughout the week.

About Me: I am from Edgewater, NJ. On campus, I am Treasurer for Women in Business, PR for the Asian Cultural Association and am an SGA senator and tour guide. I enjoy attending campus events, listening to music, and doing the NYT sudoku.
Why PAC?: It is a great resource for extra help when I was feeling overwhelmed about a project, exam or even one topic. Coaches also offer great advice for specific classes.
Favorite Class and Why?: My favorite class so far is Intro to Financial Accounting because it is very straightforward and the language of business. My professor also encouraged me to pursue a career in accounting.
Academic Advice: Plan your days in the Outlook calendar and use a planner for homework. Try to limit distractions while studying.
