Skidmore Spotlight: Lynn DiMenna
Lynn DiMenna works as a senior administrative assistant to Vice President and Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Mary Lou Bates.
DiMenna has been at Skidmore for almost nine years and has held various administrative positions in the Office of Admissions.
“Being a part of this environment was a goal of mine since I moved to Saratoga in 2003,” said DiMenna. “The beautiful campus, highly respected reputation and proximity to my home drew me to Skidmore. I have stayed because I love my work. I get to meet with families and work with dedicated colleagues and students in a fun, yet always busy office.”
In addition to working with great people, DiMenna said she enjoys the many benefits of being a Skidmore employee, from tuition and health insurance to affordable exercise programs and SkidShop computers.
DiMenna said that while she enjoys participating in the many community events, from ice cream socials to Beatlemore Skidmania, Founder’s Day and more, her favorite is Skidmore Cares. “To be a part of something that raises money and collects food and needed items for our community is so heartwarming. The wonderful gathering in early December at Scribner house just sets the tone for the holiday season,” said DiMenna.
When not at Skidmore, DiMenna loves to spend time with her husband and three children. She also enjoys traveling and visiting family. Dimenna said, “I always enjoy social time with friends and I never say no to watching movies!”
