The ZEN Mentoring Program was created in 2021 as part of the Zankel Experience Network (ZEN), which was established in 2020 by Jimmy Zankel ’92 to foster Skidmore’s deep commitment to experiential learning through programs such as the Summer Experience Fund, the Summer Faculty Student Research Program, and the Mentoring Program.
