Health Promotion at Skidmore College
Your Well-Being. Your Community. Your Skidmore Experience.
College is about more than academics. It's about discovering who you are, building meaningful connections, navigating new experiences, and finding what helps you thrive.
At Skidmore, we believe well-being looks different for everyone. Whether you're looking to manage stress, connect with other students, explore healthier habits, or simply find a place where you belong, Health Promotion is here for you.
Through peer education, engaging campus programs, practical resources, and individualized support, we help students make informed choices and build skills that support their holistic journey throughout college and beyond.
Wherever you are in your wellness journey, you belong here.

Wellness Coaching
Sometimes a little support can make a big difference. Wellness Coaching offers an opportunity to explore your goals, navigate challenges, and develop realistic strategies for taking care of yourself.
Alcohol and Other Drug Education
We believe students deserve accurate information, practical strategies, and opportunities to make informed decisions without judgment. Our alcohol and other drug education initiatives encourage reflection, promote harm reduction, and support safer choices.
Victim Advocacy Liaison Services
If you have experienced sexual or gender-based misconduct, support is available. Victim Advocacy Liaisons can help you explore resources, understand available options, and identify next steps at your own pace.
Get Connected. Get Involved.
Well-being isn't just about individual habits. It's also about connection, community, and finding moments of joy.
Friday Night Out
Looking for something fun to do on a Friday night? Friday Night Out (FNO) brings students together through creative activities, off-campus adventures, and opportunities to meet new people.
Whether you're trying something new or spending time with friends, Friday Night Out offers ways to connect, unwind, and enjoy your Skidmore experience.
Peer Health Educators
Students supporting students. Our Peer Health Educators (PHEs) are trained student leaders who create conversations, share resources, and lead engaging programs about the health and wellness topics that matter to the Skidmore community.
