Message From the Dean
Last month, we marked the transition of Golden Knight graduates as they venture into bright futures, carrying the Clarkson values and entrepreneurial spirit with them. I am so proud of all our graduates, and especially those who passed through the doors of the School of Arts & Sciences and shared their intelligence, energy and passion with us. I wish them the very best in their future endeavors.
— Darryl Scriven, Dean of Arts & Sciences, Fellow in The Shipley Center for Innovation
