COMMUNITY REVIEW
RETURNING HOME
For the first time since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Skidmore College welcomed alumni back to campus for in-person Reunion celebrations. This year, about 1,000 alumni returned to their alma mater over two sunny weekends in June to catch up with dear friends, learn about exciting developments at Skidmore, and honor classmates and fellow alumni. A June 2-5 Reunion Weekend for alumni with class years ending in 2 and 7 was followed by a separate celebration June 10-12 for class years ending in 0, 5, 1, and 6, whose Reunions had been postponed in 2020 and 2021. Both weekends featured tours of Saratoga Springs and campus, opportunities to return to the classroom and learn about timely topics from Skidmore faculty, ceremonies to recognize outstanding alumni for their service and achievements, live music, dancing, spectacular fireworks, and beautiful weather. “I’ve dreamed about this moment – a live, in-person Reunion, with the bagpipes and the sunshine,” said President Marc Conner. “And the dream has come true.”
