Students taking classes outside on the Clarkson campus

Professional Connections

"You go to a lot of campuses and the students are protected from life outside. But here, there's a sense of reality about what work — and the world — are really like. We recruit here every year because Clarkson students know what it's like to go from the academic world to the workforce. They leave here prepared."
Michelle Flanagan, University Recruiting Manager, IBM

We couldn't have said it better ourselves. Clarkson helps you make connections — with employers, with professional organizations, and with those who offer internships and co-ops. Having one out of every 12 alumni serving as a CEO or vice president, or owning their own company, speaks volumes.
