Lovefest
Coinciding with Valentine鈥檚 Day, Lovefest aims to offer the community a space where
everyone is loved and welcomed. It honors the tenets of diversity, equity, inclusion,
and justice to which the Wyckoff Center is dedicated. The program also reflects Skidmore鈥檚
commitment to the health and well-being of the community, a strategic priority of
the College. We are guided by bell hooks鈥� wisdom from her book 鈥淎ll About Love: New
Visions鈥�: 鈥淭o truly love we must learn to mix various ingredients 鈥� care, affection,
recognition, respect, commitment, and trust, as well as honest and open communication.鈥�
