Summertime and the living’s easy

Ah, summer. A lot of people associate summer with down time: cookouts with friends, hanging by the pool, no homework. Well, for the Admissions staff here at Skidmore, that’s not necessarily the case.

Every summer, we host an open house where hundreds of families visit from across the country. Students are able to tour campus; join in a picnic with faculty, staff, and students; participate in a student panel; and generally get a feel for what Skidmore is all about. It’s one of the busiest days of the year!

This year’s open house is Monday, July 8. So, after you’ve celebrated America’s independence, pack up the car and grab your folks for a beautiful drive upstate to Skidmore. Be sure to register first, so we know you’re coming.

See you then!

You asked: Hello,My daughter would like to schedule a campus tour; however, we live in England and the 0 800 phone number given for scheduling such a visit doesn’t work for us. Could we please be sent an email address? Many Thanks, Kim

Hi Kim,

Apologies that the 800 number isn’t working for you. I will check on that. The e-mail address you should use is admissions@skidmore.edu.

Hope that helps and see you soon!

Ask us a question about Skidmore!

You asked: Do you have any open houses scheduled for the next several months?

Hi there, why yes, we do!

If you’re a high school junior or sophomore you should check out our Intro to Skidmore program. Ironically, we have one today! I don’t think you can make that one, so here are the dates for the others: March 30, April 10, and April 18. And here’s the link to register: http://cms.skidmore.edu/admissions/junior/registration.cfm.

If you can’t make it in March or April, we have a summer open house too. Stay tuned for those details.

Hope that helps!
