Skidmore News

Tutors, critics and counselors. Listeners, observers and problem-solvers. Skidmore mentors come in all varieties, but a universal truth connects them all: They are one of the primary reasons students choose Skidmore … and one of the most common stories told about why our graduates love Skidmore.

 

In this installment of our “Skidmore Mentors” series, Skidmore students and young alumni share how their professors gave them the guidance and advice they needed to answer some of their biggest life questions.

Possidente also co-authored an e-print article, with colleagues in the Industrial Systems Engineering Department at RPI, in the open-access journal arXiv, titled "Continuous Circadian Phase Estimation Using Adaptive Notch Filter."
