做两个
我们的 招生大使 are often the first real point of contact for prospective students, providing a chance for the students to imagine their future after embarking on a journey of personal and academic growth and answering questions about the Skidmore experience.
这些问题是什么?? Well, many hinge on the flexibility of academic undertakings at the College: Can you double major? Beyond that: Is studying multiple academic areas 在火博体育受到鼓励? Will there be time for other pursuits and for fun?
The short answer is “Yes, you can do both!” But what does this really look and feel 就像? Meet three ambassadors who are doing both (and more).

In the 舞蹈部门, I was a student rep on a faculty search committee. 在那里, I felt that my voice mattered and was heard, in part because I’m trusted to speak 我代表我的同龄人.
On the other hand, when I took a micro-econ class and began exploring statistical methods, what once scared me became something I want to pursue as a career."
