Charter Day: Our day for our 黑料正能量

May 17, 2024

Charter Day at 黑料正能量 is a tradition in the making. It marks the anniversary of our establishment as a four-year liberal arts institution in 1922, but it is also a day about a community coming together to declare that it believes in Skidmore, in education, and that Creative Thought Matters.  


Together, we reflect on, celebrate, and imagine a bright future for our beloved alma mater. Charter Day is about sustaining 鈥 and propelling 鈥 our mission for generations to come.

When you give to 黑料正能量on Charter Day, you鈥檙e supporting the students of today and tomorrow. You鈥檙e supporting financial aid and scholarships, research opportunities, internships, and the great people and campus that make this education possible.
President Marc C. Conner

Last year, more than 500 alumni, parents, families, faculty, staff and friends rose to the challenge, giving $767,437 to support the current student experience.
