If you are a Skidmore retiree, we'd love to hear from you. If you are interested in participating in this project as either an interviewee or interviewer, please contact mdocs@skidmore.edu.
Keeping in Touch
There are many easy ways you can keep in touch with what's happening at Skidmore and with other retirees.
Events
The Retiree Initiative Planning Group (RIPG) plans and hosts a variety of social events, College updates, educational activities (seminars, panels, workshops, book groups), and regional trips. Please send a note to RIPG@skidmore.edu if there are activities you would like to see us sponsor. And plan to join your friends and colleagues in events that interest you!
Retirees can keep in touch with alumni activities through the Alumni Affairs website.
Retired faculty who might wish to offer a program for an alumni club have a standing invitation to get involved. Please contact Megan Mercier, Director of Alumni and Volunteer Engagement, to indicate your interest in such involvement, and when and where you might be available. Thanks for considering!
Regional events are also available for alumni and friends of Skidmore. Events are concentrated in over 20 key areas across the country, which bring alumni, parents, and friends of Skidmore College together for educational, social, and cultural opportunities.

College
Scope Monthly is our Skidmore-published magazine that details all things Skidmore, from events to notable alumni accomplishments.
The Retiree Initiative Planning Group (RIPG) is an informal group of volunteers devoted to fostering relations between the College and retirees in all employment categories. The group keeps up communication, including this website, and helps to plan programs, events and activities for retirees.
RIPG welcomes ideas and participation from all retirees at any time. To send suggestions or offer to help, email RIPG@skidmore.edu.
Keeping your Skidmore email name when you retire ensures your access to online directories and certain library resources, and automatically includes your name on the retiree list that HR maintains.
Please note: spouses/partners of deceased retirees remain valued members of the Skidmore family, but they need to report their personal email address in order for the college to stay in touch with them. Please send your email address if this applies to you, and encourage your friends to do the same.
People
You can use the Retiree and the Faculty/Staff directories to find contact information, using your Skidmore user name for authentication.
The In Memoriam link will lead you to a searchable listing of the In Memoriam Archives.
The Skidmore Retiree Oral History Project collects and archives the stories of faculty and staff who worked at the College in the second half of the 20th century.
