As Skidmore’s president for 17 years, from 2003 to 2020, Glotzbach led efforts that invigorated the college’s liberal arts education through new academic programs, student apartments, and buildings for arts and sciences — including a new music center and the Center for Integrated Sciences, the largest single academic building project in Skidmore’s history. Glotzbach is the author of a forthcoming book, Embrace Your Freedom: Winning Strategies to Succeed in 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 and In Life, a primer for college students to gain the most from their educational experience, and for parents to support them in doing so.
His keynote — which he promises will be a brief take on a much larger topic — is titled: “Don’t give up on democracy.”
