FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE
Students who connect in a meaningful way with faculty and peers and identify their intellectual interests are more likely to succeed. That’s why we developed the First-Year Experience program — an introduction to academics and life at Skidmore that offers the right balance between challenge and support. This summer you’ll choose from more than 40 Scribner Seminars — small-group, interdisciplinary courses designed to help you explore ideas, challenge assumptions, and think critically.
