As we work through a challenging time – each of us focusing on doing all the right things in the face of uncertainty – your extended Clarkson family is thinking of you.
Each evening, we hope to share a story of good things, Good Knights, as a way to remind each of us that, despite the realities of our challenging days, good things are still happening. We will look for short stories highlighting members of the Clarkson community demonstrating the values we all share – integrity, teamwork, humility and a commitment to making the world a better place.
A recent CBS News story featured Clarkson alumnus Dr. Amy Jenkins ’02. Amy joined the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), an agency of the Department of Defense, as a program manager in the Biological Technologies Office (BTO) in June 2019. Her interests include the development of platforms for combatting infectious disease threats as well as novel manufacturing methods to enable rapid response.
Amy is leading several teams of scientists in an effort to “break the genetic code” of the virus and build a firewall around it in an effort to speed up containment. Amy received her Bachelor of Science in chemistry and biomolecular science from Clarkson University. We are proud of this very Good Knight.
