Diversity & Inclusion

The Diversity & Inclusion Steering Committee is made up of a group of alumni volunteers who are helping to shape Skidmore’s commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The committee is growing and charged with shaping the volunteer structure, strategic initiatives, and communication for our alumni of color, LGBTQIA+ alumni, and international alumni populations. The steering committee focuses on generating programming, communications, and engagement opportunities that strengthen ties between our diverse alumni, current undergraduates, and Skidmore.
