Warm holiday wishes from Skidmore College

December 14, 2020

At the end of a very challenging year and a fall semester like no other, Skidmore President Marc Conner and Barbara Reyes-Conner express their gratitude for the many acts of generosity, kindness, courage and perseverance demonstrated by Skidmore staff, faculty, students, alumni, parents and friends in 2020, and they wish you and yours peace, health and happiness this holiday season. 

As we head into the new year, the Conners also share hope and optimism for even better days to come, when we can someday gather again, create new memories and celebrate Skidmore together.
