President's Awards for Leadership and Service

The President’s Awards for Leadership and Service recognize Skidmore community members who have embraced the educational mission and community spirit of the College through their exemplary commitment to personal excellence, campus pride, and service to others. The awards are intended to foster school spirit and campus unity, and to provide an opportunity for us to express our collective appreciation of outstanding work on behalf of the College. Nominations may be received year-round and are reviewed each spring through a process administered by the Office of the President.
