Message From the Provost
Greetings from the Clarkson University campus, and welcome to the April edition of the Provost’s Newsletter. As our academic year quickly draws to a close, I am pleased to announce a brand new bachelor of science degree program in our Reh School of Business. I’m also proud to share the news that two faculty members in our Coulter School of Engineering are the recipients of the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) most prestigious award in support of early-career faculty. In addition, two of our faculty are leading an NSF-funded initiative for education and science in Ukraine. Please enjoy reading these and the many other articles on the activities of our innovative students and faculty.
— Christopher C. Robinson, Provost
