Leadership Development

The decision is yours: to get a degree, or an education! A student who combines the skills developed through cocurricular involvement and the knowledge gained in the classroom will be better-prepared to explore and develop their total potential. Skidmore College as a part of its educational mission supports and encourages participation in cocurricular activities as an integral part of liberal arts education. One advantage of our community is the diverse and endless possibilities for involvement. Whether you wish to explore a new activity, widen your circle of friends, or promote knowledge of a cause, there is probably an organization in existence to suit your needs.
