释放 creative p这种不
这不是秘密 — Creative Thought Matters at Skidmore. In fact, creativity is our ethos, innovation is our commitment, and entrepreneurship is our ever-evolving aspiration. 这些都是 the driving forces behind programs that help students translate concepts into practice and the inspiration behind spaces that foster collaboration.

The Sands Family Foundation Initiative for Creativity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship
(CIE)
With a $5 million one-to-one matching pledge 由81届的罗伯·桑兹领导, 比尔·卡利奥,99年, and Fitzhugh Karol ’04, Skidmore has the opportunity and the challenge
to infuse the student experience with a $10 million investment in experiential learning, professional development, and entrepreneurial education.
It’s here, in our liberal arts 社区 on this creative campus, that the seeds of
entrepreneurship are planted. With your support, they can thrive.
Creativity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (CIE) is an initiative that leverages longstanding Skidmore programs such as the Kenneth A. Freirich Entrepreneurship Competition, MB107, and Entrepreneurial Artist Initiative. It is a current driver for the Schupf Family Idea Lab, StartUp Skidmore, and student experiential learning. 我们的布鲁克林 event celebrating the Sands Family Initiative and challenge grant hosted by Trustee 比尔·卡利奥,99年 shows how CIE sets the stage for Skidmore’s future.
