Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity/Expression

The Office of Student Diversity & Inclusion (OSDI) provides support, advocacy and resources for students of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions. Along with the Skidmore Pride Alliance, OSDI also seeks to educate the wider Skidmore community about heterosexism and cissexism in order to create a more inclusive and welcoming campus climate for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, and questioning people.To request a training / workshop or assistance with a specific LGBTQ+ related issue in your club, classroom, department, or office, please contact Hillary Montague-Asp, Director of Student Diversity and Inclusion.
