Some of the sights at the 2008 Commmencement ceremony

Just to give you an idea of what kind of day it was for the 2008 Commencement Ceremony. This is what it looked like from my spot on the lawn.



Pretty nice..right?

Enjoy the rest of the photos!

Class of 2008

The Skidmore Shop staff just wants to say congratulations to the Class of 2008.  I'll be posting some photos from commencement in a day or two.  So check back.

Cap and Gown day

What a great day! It was great seeing all of you come in to pick up your cap and gowns. Everyone was so festive and all of you were incredibly patient with the lines. The entire Skidmore Shop staff had a great time today and we'd like to thank all of you, not only for today..but for the last 4 years.

We'd also like to take this moment to announce the winner of the diploma frame raffle. Congratulations goes out to Olivia Baccash for being our lucky winner.

caps, gown, lunch, clothing and gifts sale, bus, cruise..WOW!

Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 13, cap and gown distribution day at The Skidmore Shop. Just to prove we know how special you are, here’s what we have planned:

Regalia Distribution – The Shop, 11:00am – 5:30pm.

Picnic Lunch – Brought to you by our friends in Dining Services and Jostens. We have a nice lunch planned for you, weather permitting on Porter Plaza, 11:30am – 1:00 pm. Stop by, grab a bite, pick up your cap and gown, buy a sweatshirt, jump on the bus for the cruise. Life is good.

Senior SUPER Sale – 40% off clothing and gifts at The Shop, use the coupon in your regalia package. 40% off at The Skidmore Shop….never heard of such a thing! One time, one day only….grab it now.

A Free Diploma Frame – Well….not for everyone….but someone will win a free frame valued at over a hundred bucks tomorrow. Enter at the cash register. Sure your diploma will look good taped to the wall but here’s your chance to really trick it out!

And last, but certainly not least, because we know how hard mom and dad worked to get you here (and keep you here!) we’re giving them 15% off on their purchases on Friday, it’s our way of saying thanks to them as well.

Get some help with your fall textbooks

The school year is finally over but it's not too early to start thinking about textbooks for the upcoming fall semester.  Yeah yeah..sorry..I know..let's have a summer vacation first.  But it really isn't too early to start thinking about how you might plan on buying your textbooks next semester.  Here's something that might help with your plan.  How about free money?  Yep.  We're giving you a chance to win a gift card at The Skidmore Shop that you can put towards your textbook purchase.  It's easy.  Just click here and fill out the survey.  It'll only take you a few minutes to do.  Hey..you never know.  

Okay..now let's start thinking about that summer vacation.

Apple Computer discount

Hey Skidmore seniors. We just wanted to remind you that this is your last chance to take advantage of the Apple Computer student discount. After all..you're still a student until May 17th. You can save up to a couple of hundred bucks on a brand new Apple computer if you purchase one now. Stop into the Skidmore Shop and check out the new Apple iMac as well as the the MacBook lineup. We even have the MacBook Air in stock at the Skidmore Shop. Buy one today because after May 17th, 2008 you'll have to pay the regular price....and that would be sad.

You can sell back your textbooks at the Murray Dining Hall on the following dates and times...
Sunday May 4th from 8PM to 11PM
Tuesday May 6th from 5PM to 8PM
Wednesday May 7th from 5PM to 8PM

Mucho importante!!!
