Skidmore Spotlight: Chris Cruz

February 5, 2020

Chris Cruz works as the staff videographer in the Office of Communications and Marketing. He helps capture Skidmoreā€™s story by shooting and editing vibrant videos for Skidmore that appear on the College website, on social media, at special events and elsewhere.

ā€œI have the privilege of covering many of the events across campus as well as getting to know this community of students, faculty and staff,ā€ said Cruz, who joined Skidmore in March 2019 after working as a freelance videographer in Boston for institutions such as MIT, Harvard and Berklee College of Music. He said he was drawn to Skidmore's diversity of programs and passionate community of students.

ā€œAs a visual storyteller, Skidmore makes for an exciting place to work,ā€ said Cruz. ā€œThereā€™s always something going on, and each day is an opportunity to learn something new.ā€

He has been particularly impressed by initiatives such as Skidmore Cares that demonstrate the Collegeā€™s commitment to going above and beyond.

ā€œThe Skidmore community is really committed to being a force of positive change, and seeing that ethos in action through campus events and clubs is really moving and meaningful to me,ā€ said Cruz.

When not on campus, he enjoys making music, playing board games and taking advantage of all the great hiking in the area.

Hereā€™s just one example of his work.
