upcoming academic Sessions
4/11 (7-9pm) MB107 Executive Presentation Review
Although we typically have student groups come in ahead of the executive presentations, I think having a promoted study session could benefit those who haven’t gone to PAC previously. Our track record in assisting students with their EP has been very remarkable, and we want to continue our success this semester
meet the pac team for management and business
Tate Brandon '24 - PAC Captain
Major: Management and Business
AboutMe: I am from Irvington New York, and a member of the Skidmore Hockey team. 
Why PAC?: I used PAC a great deal during my Freshman year and thought it was a great resource. When I was presented with the opportunity to become one, I thought it would be a great idea to help students as I was helped before.
Favorite Class and Why: MB107 because this class was a great combination between learning introductory business topics and using what you learned during a semester long project. It was a very informative course while also being fun and interesting
Academic Advice: Try to grasp and understand topics as soon as you learn them, and not just before the test.
Mason Beecher '24
Major: Management and Business Minor: Sociology
About Me: I'm from Billerica massachusetts and a member of the Skidmore Ice Hockey team.
Why PAC? I applied for PAC as it was a huge part of my success in the classroom my first two years here at Skidmore. I hope to help others as I was helped in the past.
Favorite Class and Why? My favorite class was MB 107. This course was a great introduction to the business department and allowed me to collaborate in group settings in a way I hadn't before. It was the most beneficial course I have taken here at Skidmore.
Academic Advice: There are a lot more poeple willing to help you than you may think. Use your resources.
Nick Cozzi '24
Major: Management and Business Minor: Sociology 
About Me: I am from Long Island, New York, and a member of the Skidmore Ice Hockey Team.
Why PAC?: I used PAC throughout my first two years at Skidmore and it has helped me succeed in every class. I am hoping I can give back to the Skidmore community and help students succeed just as I was helped.
Favorite Class and Why: My favorite class was MB107 because it allowed me to get a broad understanding of different business topics while also contributing to the semester-long project with my peers. This was a unique class that offered me numerous tools that I still use throughout my time at Skidmore.
Academic Advice: Try to use every resource that Skidmore provides whether it be office hours or PAC.
Lily Ernsberger '24
Major: Management and Business 
About Me: I am from Richmond, Virginia and I enjoy playing intramural volleyball at Skidmore as well as going to Lively Lucy shows at Fallstaffs.
Why PAC?: I went to PAC as a Freshman and Sophomore for lots of different classes, not just business PAC. I think that it is a great way for students to come and learn from us and each other. I like the social aspect of PAC and the community the teams make.
Favorite Class and Why: My favorite business class that I have taken at Skidmore was Business Law. It is not a business requirement, but I found that it taught me to think more critically about the cases and corporations that many core business classes discuss.
Academic Advice: Don't be scared to come to us or your professors for help. Everyone is rooting for your success at Skidmore!
Thomas Finck '24
Major: Management and Business 
About me: I am from St. James, New York, and a member of the Skidmore Hockey team. In my free time, I enjoy playing pickleball, listening to music, or binge-watching Netflix's 'Drive to Survive.'
Why PAC?: As a freshman, I utilized the services offered by PAC, which helped me get acclimated to college and succeed in my classes. I feel PAC is a great resource here at Skidmore, and I wanted to provide the same help I received as a freshman.
Favorite Class and Why: MB107 because this class had a great mix between learning and practicing the class material. MB107 taught me the fundamentals of the business major while allowing me to work with my peers on a semester-long project.
Academic Advice: Plan your days and stay on top of your academic work. College is a place where many students must balance school, sports, extra circular activities, and much more. Creating a daily/weekly schedule can help to keep organized and reduce work overload.
Maeve McKinley '24
Major: Management and Business Minor: Honors Forum 
About Me: I am from Norwell, Massachusetts, a member of the Skidmore Women's Lacrosse team, and am on the executive board of Women In Business. I spent my last summer interning in Boston. I enjoy skiing, the beach on the cape, and hanging out with friends!
Why PAC?: PAC is a fantastic resource Skidmore offers for students to use, and it has certainly benefited me academically. I want to give back and provide other students with the same invaluable help I received.
Favorite class and why?: Definitely, MB107 as it forced me to step outside of my comfort zone. It gives students real-world experiences in learning how to collaborate with others while developing presentation and communication skills.
Academic Advice: Advocate for yourself, don't compare, and do what is best for you. Everyone learns differently and at a different pace. Use your resources and don't be afraid to connect with your professors, peers, PAC, and all that Skidmore provides. Everyone wants to help and see you succeed but it's your job to ask.
Oscar Worob '26
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.
