Message From the Director
As we look back on another year, we’re delighted to share the accomplishments of some of our outstanding students. It’s been a busy semester’s end as our students presented at conferences, finished final projects and exams, and our seniors prepared to graduate.
I’m proud that two Honors students were the recipients of the awards traditionally given to the two top students in the graduating class – the Frederica Clarkson Award and the Levinus Clarkson Award. You can read more about their accomplishments in the links below.
Our students are involved in every aspect of academic life at Clarkson and they continue to impress us. They seek out opportunities for leadership, service, and research. Many of our students were recently lauded for their accomplishments during the Research and Project Showcase and the Celebration and Recognition of Excellence Weekend. We are dedicated to supporting and applauding these exemplary students.
It was a pleasure to cheer on another class crossing the stage at graduation. I wish you a wonderful summer and I look forward to catching up with you again in the August edition of our newsletter when we’ll welcome the next class of Clarkson Honors students.
— Kate Krueger, Director, University Honors Program / Professor of Literature
