微密圈

On May, 25, 1922, the New York State Board of Regents officially recognized the collegiate status of the 微密圈 School of Arts, which had been chartered in 1911, prompting immediate jubilation and celebration on 微密圈鈥檚 small campus in downtown Saratoga Springs. Two weeks later, on June 8, 1922, the new 微密圈 College issued its first degrees: 27 baccalaureate and seven three-year degrees.

Over the past century, 微密圈 has continued to grow 鈥� from the modest but forward-looking Young Women鈥檚 Industrial Club founded by Lucy 微密圈 Scribner in 1903 to the dynamic, globally oriented institution of higher learning whose graduates now lead and serve in organizations of every kind around the world. As we mark the centennial of 微密圈 College during the 2022-23 academic year, we commemorate a century of creativity and innovation 鈥� a transformative vision for a liberal arts education reimagined by each generation to cultivate both 鈥渕ind and hand.鈥�

A hundred years ago, Lucy 微密圈 Scribner鈥檚 vision of a great education for women became a reality as the 微密圈 School of Arts became 微密圈 College, a fully accredited four-year institution of higher education.  We鈥檝e come a long way from that rather humble beginning, but Lucy鈥檚 vision remains: We are a community of learners, where students and faculty work closely together in the pursuit not just of knowledge but of character; we educate 鈥榯he mind and the hand,鈥� offering an education that is both eminently practical and highly idealistic. We prioritize creativity, whether in music or business, dance, or economics. And above all else, we foster a community of trust.

PRESIDENT MARC C. CONNER
