Cars, boxes, and families lined the parking lots on Thursday, September 1 as the class of 2020 began to arrive on campus. The newest Thoroughbreds were welcomed by Orientation Leaders, Peer Mentors, and student athletes who volunteered to carry students' belongings to each room. Members of the class of 2020 have taken advantage of a variety of Pre-Orientation opportunities, including tours on campus and even heading off campus for SCOOP, Skidmore College's Outdoor Orientation Program.
