From my Skidmore College Google Alert
file: Skidmore wants to build a grant- funded solar farm in nearby Greenfield, NY, which could supply 12 percent of the energy needed to run the campus. We’ll surely be hearing more about that! I also saw that Matt Dairman was pro-
filed in Virginia’s Suffolk News Herald in January, when he celebrated his 10th year practicing podiatry. He is director of the 1Foot 2Foot Centre for Foot and Ankle Care, which he opened in 2006. Matt earned a master’s in epidemiology from SUNY-Albany before receiving a doctorate, with honors, from Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine in Chicago. He completed his residency at the North Colorado Medical Center Podiatric Surgi - cal Center, where he served as chief resi- dent in 2001–02. He then partnered with a Suffolk podiatrist prior to launching his current practice. Planning for Reunion 2014 (May 29–
June 1) started this summer with an on- campus kick-off in July. That’s right, peo- ple: next summer we will have been out of college for 20 years! VICKI TISCH 330 W. 56TH ST., #2B NEW YORK, NY 10019-4241
