At its meeting last Friday, February 14, the members of the Institutional Policy and Planning Committee (IPPC) again discussed this project, along with other important topics relating to Skidmore’s financial sustainability.

President Philip A. Glotzbach writes to the Skidmore campus community about the athletics facilities project

Once again, over the past weekend, senseless violence ripped through two communities — one in El Paso, Texas, and the other in Dayton, Ohio — and authorities are investigating at least one of the cases as a hate crime.

While many of us were away for spring break, terror targeted at members of the Muslim community struck in New Zealand, taking dozens of innocent lives and leaving scores injured.

I am pleased to announce Skidmore’s 108th Commencement Exercises to be held Saturday, May 18, at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center.

Philip A. Glotzbach will step down as Skidmore’s seventh president at the end of the 2019-2020 academic year.

Our hearts go out to those directly affected by the horrific shooting at the Tree of Life Congregation in Pittsburgh. We express our heartfelt sympathy to the victims of this attack and express our solidarity with all members of the Jewish community within the Skidmore family, in the United States, and internationally.

I write to share "Strategic Action Agenda 2018-2020," which is now posted on our strategic planning website.

As midterm elections approach, we are entering into a concentrated season of both political activity and related communications. We have witnessed strong opinions on display throughout recent years — both here on campus and on the national stage — and anticipate that this activity will intensify in the weeks to come.

I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Donna Ng as Skidmore’s next vice president for finance and administration and treasurer, effective October 1.
