Skidmore College

A new year of creative possibility

September 4, 2024

“There’s nothing like the beginning of a new academic year.” 
  
President Marc Conner welcomes everyone in our Skidmore community — students, staff, faculty, parents, and families — to another great year on campus. 
  
As always, students can look forward to being inspired and challenged by exciting opportunities and brilliant faculty and staff, supported and encouraged by a warm and caring community, and centered and energized by beautiful surroundings. New this year, a number of learning spaces and residence halls have been upgraded, the state-of-the-art research facilities in the new Billie Tisch Center for Integrated Sciences are now fully complete, and the new McCaffery-Wagman Tennis and Wellness Center will soon open, centralizing and prioritizing holistic health and wellness on campus. 
  
Possibilities abound and Creative Thought Matters … welcome to the fall semester!
