The Charles S. & William P. Dake Community Service Award
- This award, established in 1988 through the benefaction of Mr. and Mrs. William P. Dake, is given in recognition of a student's volunteer efforts in the Saratoga community during the past academic year. The award honors Charles S. Dake, past president of Stewart's Ice Cream Company, who was a Skidmore trustee for one year until his untimely death in 1978, and William P. Dake, current president of Stewart's and a Skidmore trustee since 1988. Both men's strong belief in the importance of volunteerism is exemplified by their own long records of active community service at all levels. Susan Law Dake, a member of the Class of 1971 and wife of William, is one of Saratoga County's most active volunteers and works closely with all of the Benef-Action organizations in the selection process for the Dake Award. Candidates for this award must be full-time members of the Skidmore student body in good academic and social standing. They must be nominated by the volunteer organization as individuals who have volunteered their time to the Saratoga Community on a regular basis throughout the academic year, or who have exhibited extraordinary efforts in support of the spirit of volunteerism within the Skidmore community.
- This award, established in 1992, honors the memory of Jane Anne Hapeman who, through her work in the offices of Admissions and Student Academic Affairs over the course of 8 years, assisted countless students in making the transition from home and high school to college life. Candidates for this award are nominated by first year students. They must be full time upper-class students who are well-rounded individuals with diverse interests, strong character and high initiative, and who, like Mrs. Hapeman, clearly enjoy giving of themselves in helpful and supportive ways.
- These awards recognize Skidmore community members who have embraced the educational mission and progressive spirit of the College through their exemplary commitment to personal excellence, campus pride, and community service. The awards are intended to foster school spirit and campus unity, and they represent an opportunity to express our collective appreciation of outstanding work on behalf of the College.
