"Skidmore Encore is interesting, stimulating and fun! My husband is retired, and I take off work to take advantage of this gift from Skidmore College to the community鈥檚 encore learners. This is access to a top liberal arts college faculty鈥攊n TED talk format鈥攈earing what they know and think based on years of research and experience. Wide-ranging topics have included issues of the day, lessons from the past and science for the future. We wouldn鈥檛 miss it!鈥� 鈥�Zoe Ann and Richard Shafer
鈥泪 was a student at Skidmore 50 years ago. Skidmore was a close-knit community of young women who were both nurtured and educated by our professors. The faculty was an eclectic group who met with us outside of class, often came to the dining hall for dinner and occasionally invited us into their homes. I was taught well here and have always appreciated the education I received at Skidmore. This is the first opportunity I鈥檝e had to participate in Encore. Now, at the end of seven weeks, I am happy that clearly the current professors share the same warm, personable characteristics of my teachers 50 years ago. The range of topics has been fascinating; I have learned so much! While their styles vary, and their topics have ranged widely, they share a love of scholarship and teaching. Thank you, Skidmore, for including us in the current intellectual life here. I am grateful to the professors and staff who make this program possible.鈥� 鈥�Skidmore Alumna (Class of 鈥�69)
