Skidmore College
First-Year Experience

Summer Reading

A central feature of Skidmore’s First-Year Experience is the Summer Reading program. Its purpose
is twofold. 

  • First, we want to highlight that intellectual engagement and education is not confined to the classroom or to academic calendars. On the contrary, learning is ongoing and transcends campus boundaries.
  • Second, we want to provide the first-year class, as well as the broader campus community, with a common intellectual experience centered on an engaging topic. The summer reading helps us accomplish both of these goals.

Sincerely,

Professor Rachel Roe-Dale 
Director of the First-Year Experience and Professor of Mathematics and Statistics
