Fostering Sustainable, Inclusive Innovation

Transforming society through cross-disciplinary scholarship that addresses pressing industry and environmental needs requires intentional leadership at all levels. At the same time, the departments and organizations powering Clarkson University’s progress operate with a broad perspective — one that takes who we are, what we do and why we do it into account.

Through this two-part strategy, we consider all the ways we can enrich the world — from research, discoveries and entrepreneurial drive to our partnerships — and simultaneously invite both undergraduate and graduate students to meaningfully contribute.

As a result, the rigorous, hands-on technical education for which we’re known equips our graduates to surge ahead in the workforce, spurs sustainable economic development and attracts diverse, determined students and faculty ready to roll up their sleeves and collaboratively devise solutions. Our impact, as well, is two-fold — growing our presence as a private, national research university and launching the careers of individuals who go on to lead their respective fields with a similar mindset.
