Registration open for Class of 2020 Commencement Celebration, honorary degree recipients announced

Dear Members of the Class of 2020,

Springtime approaches here in Saratoga Springs – bringing the anticipation of welcoming you back to campus for your in-person commencement celebration. While we could not have imagined nor anticipated the abrupt disruption of your final year at Skidmore, we are so delighted to be able to welcome you back to campus in a few short months.

This long-awaited opportunity to reconnect with classmates and campus is the result of the hard work of class volunteers and the commitment of many members of our Skidmore community. All of us at Skidmore are looking forward to the Class of 2020 Commencement Celebration June 3-5, 2022. 

You can now register online and view a schedule of events. 

I also want to share that during this celebration weekend, Skidmore will recognize Dr. Tricia Hellman Gibbs and Dr. Richard Gibbs with honorary degrees for their exceptional commitment to providing free, accessible medical treatment to those without health insurance and to offering educational opportunities for future medical practitioners. Both serve as physicians at the San Francisco Free Clinic, which they founded in 1993.

I was just about to arrive at Skidmore when your commencement celebration was disrupted in 2020.  I am so eager to join you at last for your well-deserved celebration on your Skidmore campus.

Sincerely,

Marc C. Conner
President
