SARATOGA SPRINGS — Bill Jones, Skidmore College’s former senior athletic communications manager who announced his retirement earlier this year, has won a Lifetime Achievement Award from the College Sports Communicators (CSC). Jones is a CSC Hall of Famer who worked at Skidmore from 1984 until 2024.

“Bill is a true titan of the industry,” said Skidmore Associate Director of Athletic Communications & Marketing Kyle Lancto in a statement. “His longevity in the business, especially at one place, is an inspiration. But for me, beyond all of the accomplishments, awards, and honors that Bill has (rightfully) received throughout the years, the quality of a person that he is is what I will take away most and remember him by the greatest.”

College Sports Commu-nicators, founded in 1957, is a national association for strategic, creative and digital communicators across intercollegiate athletics in the United States and Canada. The organization has more than 4,000 members.
