Human Resources

Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. Through rigorous programs in engineering, business, arts, sciences and the health professions, our learning-living community fosters discovery, innovation and enterprise.

Located in Potsdam, NY, Clarkson is one of northern New York's largest employers. Our culture is shaped in part by a richly varied landscape that includes quintessential college towns, farmland, resorts from the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway to Lake Placid and Adirondack wilderness. Clarkson is also near the U.S.-Canada border, allowing for day trips to the national capital of Ottawa and the cultural center of Montreal.

Clarkson spans these disparate regions to work closely with residents and businesses to provide safe and clean surroundings where we live, work, and learn.
