Corporate Leadership Day
Clarkson University partners with top companies every spring to host Corporate Leadership Day for all accepted students. Companies participating this year include GE Vernova, GlobalFoundries, Corning Inc., and Rochester Regional Health.
During this event, participants:
- learn about leadership from successful corporate staff who graduated from Clarkson.
- make new friends and network with alumni, staff and current students.
- spend an overnight on campus with a current student host (optional and space limited).
- also attend Accepted Students Day the following day.
Please note that registration is required for Accepted Students Day if attending Corporate Leadership Day. Registration will only become available to students who are registered for the accompanying Accepted Students Day event. Space is very limited.
The 2026 Corporate Leadership Day is March 27 preceding the March 28 Accepted Students Day.
