Message From the Founding Dean

Welcome to the May edition of our Earl R. and Barbara D. Lewis School of Health & Life Sciences Newsletter!

Cohorts from our graduate Physical Therapy and Physician Assistant Studies classes walked across the stage on May 9. The students received their white coats in separate program-based ceremonies. Respectively, the students earned Doctor of Physical Therapy and Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies degrees. The first four graduates of our new Bachelor of Science in Healthcare program also received their diplomas in our undergraduate ceremony two days later. Congratulations to all of our graduates, who will go on to help alleviate the lack of access to quality care for millions of Americans.

In this issue of our newsletter, you'll read of an OT student and author who just penned her first children's book as well as more news on our new paramedic program. We also have some stories from our affiliated programs. Please enjoy reading about our students and faculty and have a great summer!

— Lennart Johns, Founding Dean of Health & Life Sciences

Message From the Director

As we look back on another year, we’re delighted to share the accomplishments of some of our outstanding students. It’s been a busy semester's end as our students presented at conferences, finished final projects and exams, and our seniors prepared to graduate.

I'm proud that two Honors students were the recipients of the awards traditionally given to the two top students in the graduating class – the Frederica Clarkson Award and the Levinus Clarkson Award. You can read more about their accomplishments in the links below.

Our students are involved in every aspect of academic life at Clarkson and they continue to impress us. They seek out opportunities for leadership, service, and research. Many of our students were recently lauded for their accomplishments during the Research and Project Showcase and the Celebration and Recognition of Excellence Weekend. We are dedicated to supporting and applauding these exemplary students.

It was a pleasure to cheer on another class crossing the stage at graduation. I wish you a wonderful summer and I look forward to catching up with you again in the August edition of our newsletter when we’ll welcome the next class of Clarkson Honors students.

— Kate Krueger, Director, University Honors Program / Professor of Literature
