Skidmore Spotlight: Lori Parks

Lori Parks works as the safety systems administrator in the Department of Campus Safety. Her responsibilities include learning about new computer programs that could aid the department, keeping up with software updates, overseeing the parking and incident reports programs, and helping the assistant director collect statistics.

Parks was born and raised in Saratoga Springs and joined the College almost 34 years ago. She said she still enjoys learning and growing in her role.

Skidmore is also a place where she has spent much time with her family.

“We often attended softball games, basketball games, art shows at the Tang Museum and the Tang’s Family Fun Days,” Parks said. Her daughter also graduated from Skidmore in 2018.

When not on campus, Parks loves reading and discovering the many hidden gems in Saratoga Springs and the surrounding area.
