A new year of creative possibility

September 4, 2024

“There’s nothing like the beginning of a new academic year.” 
  
President Marc Conner welcomes everyone in our Skidmore community — students, staff, faculty, parents, and families 51ݶ to another great year on campus. 
  
As always, students can look forward to being inspired and challenged by exciting opportunities and brilliant faculty and staff, supported and encouraged by a warm and caring community, and centered and energized by beautiful surroundings. New this year, a number of learning spaces and residence halls have been upgraded, the state-of-the-art research facilities in the new Billie Tisch Center for Integrated Sciences are now fully complete, and the new McCaffery-Wagman Tennis and Wellness Center will soon open, centralizing and prioritizing holistic health and wellness on campus. 
  
Possibilities abound and Creative Thought Matters 51ݶ welcome to the fall semester!
