Student Affairs Division Mission Statement
In support of Skidmore College’s mission, “to educate a diverse population of talented students,” the Division of Student Affairs works with all College departments to create an integrated living and learning liberal arts experience.
We believe:
At Skidmore, everyone deserves access to the highest levels of excellence in education:
- Learning is a communal endeavor where we all learn from and teach each other.
- Learning happens in all dimensions: intellectual, emotional, physical, social, professional, and spiritual.
- Learning is a dynamic and integrative process of exploration across barriers and divisions.
- Learning happens everywhere and requires opportunities, challenges, disappointments, and defeats.
- Learning promotes growth, transformation, and the continuous interaction and meaning making of self, other, and communities.
