Skidmore Included in Special Report by Kaplan/Newsweek

Skidmore is included on the list of "25 New Ivies" released this week by Kaplan/Newsweek.

The story appears in the current issue of Newsweek magazine and in the forthcoming Kaplan/Newsweek Guide to Getting into College, which explained, “The demand for an excellent education has created an ever-expanding supply of big and small campuses that provide great academics and first-rate faculties.”

Acknowledging the story, President Philip A. Glotzbach said, "We appreciate this recognition because it reflects the tremendous strength of our faculty and curriculum, and the accomplishments of our students. Any list or ranking, of course, has inherent limitations. We believe that the best way for prospective students and their families to learn about Skidmore is to visit the campus to see first-hand the people and qualities that make this a special place to live and learn. 

In addition to noting the breadth of the College's curriculum and its international programs, the entry for Skidmore praises its location in "picturesque" Saratoga Springs.
