I am pleased to provide an update on the national search to fill the position of vice president for finance and administration and treasurer. The search process has begun and relevant materials are available on the search website.- Even as we have celebrated the increases in our applicant pools over the past few years, we have seen seen a steady growth in the percentage of applicants seeking financial aid, and a sharp increase in the cost of health insurance for our employees. Solving these challenges will require us to find cost savings in the budget.
- I write to provide an update that following the announcement that Michael West, Vice President for Finance and Administration and Treasurer, will retire August 31, 2018, we have appointed a committee to lead a national search to fill the position.
- I am pleased to share several updates about the redesign of the Skidmore.edu website, a record number of applications for the Class of 2022, the annual sustainability report, and next year’s budget recommendations.
- After nearly 14 years with Skidmore College, Michael West, Vice President for Finance and Administration and Treasurer, has announced his retirement, effective August 31, 2018.
- In line with his clear stance on diversity, equity, and inclusion, President Glotzbach condemns in the strongest possible terms the KKK and any groups that promote racist, hateful, and divisive ideologies.
- This year Skidmore will confer honorary degrees upon Alison Bechdel and Robert S. D. Higgins, while Christopher B. Mann has been selected as the 2018 faculty Commencement speaker.
- With great sadness, I must inform you that Jaime Guttenberg, daughter of Frederic Guttenberg '88, was among those killed in the mass shooting that occurred on Wednesday in Parkland, Florida.
