Hey everyone, I'm Honor! I'm a rising Junior Dance major on the Premed track! I'm also a Peer Health Educator and a part of SCEMS (Skidmore College Emergency Medical Services). I love hiking with my dog Lucy, beaching, reading, roller coastering, and coffee shopping. I'm also a HUGE squirrel enthusiast and am often seen around campus taking pictures of them. I'm a Peer Leader for Paddles and Paths, which is arguably the best SCOOP program and all of you should sign up for it. If you join P&P, you will get to see my squirrel onesie in person. Please feel free to reach out! My email is hkula@skidmore.edu 

My name is Kerrigan (she/they) and I’m from Houston, Texas! I’m gonna be a leader for Art and Adventure, which is the program I did last year. I’m so excited to meet all of y’all.
