F. William Harder Lecture

The annual F. William Harder Lecture at Skidmore College was inaugurated in 1985 and made possible by the generosity of F. William Harder, a Skidmore parent and College trustee (1968-1980). The lecture invites industry leaders to explore the current business environment and the challenges that lie ahead.
