Skidmore Spotlight: Taj Abu
Taj Abu works as a Campus Safety officer, helping to ensure the safety and well-being of the entire campus community.
Abu started in the position in May, having worked in the healthcare industry for more than a decade.
“What most excites me about working here would have to be the opportunity I have had to meet new people from all walks of life and the chance to learn what makes each one of us different, yet similar,” he said.
Abu said he appreciates the College’s emphasis on creative thought.
“Here at Skidmore, individuality is nurtured without sacrificing the community aspect. I have learned to be more accepting of others without judgment,” he said.
When not working at Skidmore, Abu enjoys spending time with family and relaxing and watching a good movie. He also enjoys drone photography and 3D printing and has taken up a new hobby — woodworking — since the onset of the pandemic.
