Message From the Provost
Greetings from the Clarkson University campus and welcome to the July edition of the Provost’s Newsletter. In this issue, we take a look at a new 3+1 Business Administration BS/MBA Accelerated Program that will allow students to earn a BS and an MBA in only four years. We also cover a trip by our physician assistant studies students to care for patients in Nicaragua as well as new research on PFAS mitigation and new techniques of deep tissue imaging. I hope you enjoy reading about our gifted students and faculty as much as I enjoy interacting with them every day!
— Christopher C. Robinson, Provost
