Kudos to the Women's Basketball team

You already know I am a big proponent of early college awareness (especially for underrepresented populations). In fact, I think all colleges should be required to do early college awareness and I am currently working on a proposal to the national board to try to ensure this happens!

Darren Bennett, head women's basketball coach, arranged for Arbor Hill Elementary School (in Albany) to visit Skidmore, take a short tour, and see the women's basketball team play! There were raffles throughout the game and many students walked away with Skidmore backpacks, t-shirts and other collectibles.

The opposing team from Southern Vermont College was probably not expecting a crowd at the game because Skidmore students are on break until later this month. Skidmore came away with the victory but the highlight of the day was after the game when the students from Arbor Hill were able to interact with the players from the Skidmore Women's Basketball team!

Students from the Greenberg Child Care Center on campus also came to watch the game!
