office of the president
Dear Members of the Skidmore College Class of 2020: I am delighted to have this opportunity to congratulate you on your accomplishments on this first of two occasions when Skidmore College will celebrate and honor the Class of 2020. This virtual Commencement program documents the extraordinary work that members of the Class of 2020 have done over these past four years – and, especially, over the last few months. Your industry, your talent, and your determination have brought you to this moment, when Skidmore marks your transition from undergraduates to graduates of the College. All members of the Skidmore faculty, staff, and administration are proud of you for both what you have achieved and the trials you have overcome to achieve it. Please do take some time to review the program. You will find inside an enumeration of both the individual and the collective accomplishments of the Class of 2020. I hope that you, your families, and your friends enjoy the virtual Commencement ceremony. I look forward to when we gather in person to honor the Class of 2020 at your upcoming non-virtual Commencement exercises. Congratulations!
Philip A. Glotzbach President

FLAGS Every year, many students travel from their home countries to the United States to become part of the Skidmore College community. These students leave their homes, families and friends to be embraced by their new community in Saratoga Springs. They come to Skidmore from around the world and work hard to balance their responsibilities as students and world citizens. The flags you see in today’s ceremony represent the countries of citizenship for all graduates of the Class of 2020. These flags, and those of all other countries representing the citizenship of Skidmore students, hang permanently in Skidmore’s Case College Center.

ACADEMIC REGALIA The origins of the present-day cap, gown, and hood lie in traditions dating back 600 years. In the early years of European universities, the everyday dress of students and teachers was the garb of the cleric, academic pursuits being then the province of the church. Over the centuries, students at particular colleges came to adopt special colors to distinguish themselves, and gradually different colors came to be associated with certain ranks, degrees, and faculties. In 1895, a degree of standardization in academic costuming was reached in the United States by the Intercollegiate Commission, though many European universities continue to use distinctive caps and gowns differing from those worn in this country. Hoods Skidmore graduates receiving the Bachelor of Arts degree wear hoods trimmed on the outside in white, the color signifying the arts. Those earning the Bachelor of Science degree have hoods with golden-yellow trim, representing the sciences. All graduates’ hoods are lined in yellow and white, Skidmore’s traditional colors.
Traditional Colors
Distinctive Cords and Tassels
Education
As part of their academic regalia, Skidmore graduates who have earned College honors wear red cords. Students who have earned departmental honors wear purple cords. Officers of the Student Government Association wear gold cords and tassels. Officers of the senior class wear white cords and tassels. Campus spirit is also marked by cords: Seniors’ participation in certain community-building and support activities earned points toward a green and gold senior cord.
Fine Arts Brown
Skidmore faculty members represent many fields of learning — for example: Arts, Letters, Humanities White Business Administration

Caps are generally black and of the mortarboard type. Regalia of all degree levels may include black tassels.
CANDIDATES FOR DEGREES The names on the following lists represent students who have completed, or are expected to complete by August 31, all academic requirements for the degree. Those expected to complete their academic requirements by August 31 are marked with an asterisk. Students who have not met all other requirements (including financial, academic integrity, and social integrity obligations) may have their diplomas withheld. College and departmental honors are awarded to August candidates upon completion of all requirements and determination of final grade-point averages.
