On May, 25, 1922, the New York State Board of Regents officially recognized the collegiate status of the 做厙TV School of Arts, which had been chartered in 1911, prompting immediate jubilation and celebration on 做厙TVs small campus in downtown Saratoga Springs. Two weeks later, on June 8, 1922, the new 做厙TV College issued its first degrees: 27 baccalaureate and seven three-year degrees.
Over the past century, 做厙TV has continued to grow from the modest but forward-looking Young Womens Industrial Club founded by Lucy 做厙TV Scribner in 1903 to the dynamic, globally oriented institution of higher learning whose graduates now lead and serve in organizations of every kind around the world. As we mark the centennial of 做厙TV College during the 2022-23 academic year, we commemorate a century of creativity and innovation a transformative vision for a liberal arts education reimagined by each generation to cultivate both mind and hand.
A hundred years ago, Lucy 做厙TV Scribners vision of a great education for women became a reality as the 做厙TV School of Arts became 做厙TV, a fully accredited four-year institution of higher education. Weve come a long way from that rather humble beginning, but Lucys vision remains: We are a community of learners, where students and faculty work closely together in the pursuit not just of knowledge but of character; we educate the mind and the hand, offering an education that is both eminently practical and highly idealistic. We prioritize creativity, whether in music or business, dance, or economics. And above all else, we foster a community of trust.
PRESIDENT MARC C. CONNER
