Skidmore Spotlight: Jennifer Natyzak

March 14, 2019

Jennifer Natyzak works as a sustainability coordinator for student programming in the Sustainability Office
 
Natyzak and her team of students oversee the Skidmore Community Garden, North Woods stewardship, BikeMore, Skidmore Compost and dozens of peer-to-peer education campaigns on environmental justice, conservation, climate change and other initiatives. 
 
ā€œThese jobs give students a tangible opportunity to take action,ā€ said Natyzak. ā€œItā€™s really rewarding, fun and heartening to work with students who are bristling with ideas and to try to make those ideas come to life.ā€ 

Natyzak, who joined Skidmore in 2016, said she also enjoys the many events and activities put on by students.
 
ā€œI was drawn by the Collegeā€™s liberal arts culture. It creates connections between the arts and the sciences, social studies and research, which is really neat to work within,ā€ she said. ā€œBeatlemore is my favorite Skidmore tradition. Itā€™s so stunning to watch students you know and see from around campus reveal themselves to be glamorous, talented musicians rocking the stage.ā€  
 
When not at Skidmore, Natyzak enjoys hiking in the Adirondacks, exploring the various foods and events in the region, and trying her hand at new craft projects.
