吃瓜爆料

Hey, my name is Evan. I'm one of the leaders for the newly established Hiking and Biking SCOOP. I'm a junior majoring in Environmental Science and minoring in French. I like being outside, playing drums, lifting heavy-ish weights, and making sure every one of you in my SCOOP is safe and taken care of and comfortable (but not too comfortable). I'm so excited to do a little hiking, a little biking, and a lot of fun-having with you guys. Ask questions or introduce yourself via instagram (@ecr.robertson) or email (erobertson@skidmore.edu). It's not that serious, you're gonna have such a good time. Or maybe you won't, I don't know you.

HEY SCOOPIES, my name is Liam, I am a rising junior and Health and Human Physiological Sciences Major and soon to be Business minor. These are the four most important things you should know about me. I take my potatoes mashed (the best form), this will be my third SCOOP trip on H2O which is the best SCOOP there is, if you are my scoopies you will be awaken each morning to only the best of songs, and I am the self-proclaimed wii mario kart champion of SCOOP Peer Leaders鈥檚 (ask Jonah Lecompte if you don鈥檛 believe me). I can鈥檛 wait to meet you all and have an amazing time on scoop with you all!!! I would like to say that I am pretty knowledgeable about all things SCOOP and Skidmore so feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about anything! @kiamswim25 on snap and isnta, or lkeating@skidmore.edu for emails.

I鈥檓 an English major with a minor in Spanish so feel free to chat with me in either of those languages (or teach me a new one!). In my spare time, I enjoy scrapbooking and scheming in my journal, mending clothes with very basic sewing skills, and cooking/baking with whatever I can find in my kitchen. As much as I love indoor activities, I am exceptionally fond of the outdoors. In the great expanse of nature, you can find me stomping in puddles, climbing rocks, or admiring fuzzy patches of moss and strange bugs. I鈥檓 eager to meet all of you and hopefully recruit a select few of you for next semester's intramural volleyball tournament! Don鈥檛 hesitate to reach out at awakefield@skidmore.edu if you have any questions about SCOOP, Skidmore, and beyond!!

Starting college can be a little bit scary (it was for me), but I promise you will figure out where you fit in here at Skidmore (and probably have a blast too!) Art & Adventure is a new program we started last year, and it鈥檚 super fun. We are going to do some arts and crafts AND some awesome outdoorsy things (like whitewater rafting!) If you鈥檙e excited, then that鈥檚 so crazy because I鈥檓 also excited wow maybe we should be friends or something (my insta is @evanatalie.s btw) If you鈥檙e a little bit nervous, feel free to email me at evashay@skidmore.edu I鈥檓 happy to help (even if you鈥檙e not in my group!) Questions/concerns about SCOOP, all things college, or any other thoughts, musings, and/or ruminations? send them my way. I can鈥檛 wait to meet all of you! XOXO
