Skidmore Campus Viewbook

UJIMA SKIDMORE-STYLE Ujima, Skidmore’s Caribbean and African American club, recently staged its 23rd annual fashion extravaganza. Student models took to the runway to demonstrate, through beauty and strength, how people of color excel in spite of life’s obstacles. Ujima is a Swahili word that means building community by treating others’ problems as your own and solving them together. /03 WHAT’S DIFFERENT AT SKIDMORE 8 /02 ACADEMIC FEST All day, all across campus, students present their best papers, scientific research, choreography, and documentary videos, displaying something else that matters at Skidmore: excellence. Academic Festival is a celebration of our achievements and intellect. THE NORTH WOODS Skidmore’s 250-acre North Woods is a forest that’s home to more than 660 species of plants including rare ferns, the red- spotted newt and painted turtle, and a wide variety of birds who migrate or stay to breed. Monitored by student stewards, the woodlands feature a trail system perfect for hiking, cross- country skiing, and occasionally getting away from it all. /05 /04 BIG GREEN SCREAM What better way to tip off a season of Thoroughbred basketball? Show up early for a chance to win huge prizes like smart TVs, and catch some of Skidmore’s top performers at center court.
