n October 2013, Creating Our Future: The Campaign for Skidmore was formally approved. At that moment, President Philip Glotzbach, Marie Glotzbach, and Skidmore’s Board of Trustees — along with Campaign volunteer leaders, alumni, parents, friends, faculty, staff, and students — set out to reach an ambitious goal of $200 million to provide for students and help them achieve lives of meaning and purpose, capitalize on the College’s incredible momentum, and continue building resources for the future. Following the arrival of President Marc C. Conner and Barbara Reyes-Conner on July 1, 2020, we announced on December 31, 2020, that 27,193 donors amazed us all with a record-setting total of $229.4 million! Thank you for your support during this campaign. Through your generosity, you have helped to provide the necessary resources to build and renovate campus facilities, strengthen academic programs, enhance student opportunities, and offer a world-class liberal arts education with exceptional faculty. Skidmore is a more vibrant institution today as a result of your involvement. Our words alone cannot fully express the appreciation of so many at Skidmore. In the following pages, you will see firsthand the magnitude of this campaign and learn more about the lives you have changed.
