Message From the Dean
Clarkson has built its national reputation on educating global leaders and developing new technologies to improve human life. At the heart of this technological innovation and academic programming are the arts and sciences, which complement our students’ disciplinary-based knowledge. Such a framework prepares them to be responsible, ethical citizens and outstanding professionals. And they are taught by the finest role models — educators who consistently garner attention for their excellence in high-impact research and scholarship, as evidenced by the faculty members highlighted below. I am pleased to share with you their stories.
— Darryl Scriven, Dean of Arts & Sciences, Fellow in The Shipley Center for Innovation
