Two Opportunity Program graduates, 50 years apart

Barbara Lucas-Roberts '73 was in the first cohort of Opportunity Program students to graduate from Skidmore, and Issy Mejia '23 was in the 50th. Five decades separate them, but their experiences connect them in powerful ways. 

Scope magazine: Forging Skidmore's second century

The new issue of Scope magazine, dedicated to Skidmore College’s Centennial, will be distributed to employees in early June. Watch this video for a preview of how the Foundry Club continued a student project from the last century to create an enduring symbol heading into the next.
