Interview with Philip Glotzbach

Phil Glotzbach, Skidmore president from 2003-2020, grew up in the mid-west, received his undergraduate degree in philosophy from Notre Dame and his Ph.D from Yale in 1972. After years as a professor in the philosophy department at Denison, he became department chair, then Vice President for Academic Affairs. At the University of Redlands in Southern California, he was Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. In all these institutions, his interest was in interdisciplinarity and student/faculty/administration interaction which attracted him to Skidmore. He was instrumental in growing the endowment which allowed for funding and building Zankel Hall, the Center for Integrated Sciences and the Northwoods Apartments. Since retirement, Phil has been actively working on a book titled, “Honor Your Freedom: Winning Strategies to Succeed in College and in Life”.
