Celebration & Recognition of Excellence Weekend

Clarkson's Celebration & Recognition of Excellence Weekend (CREW) 

Honoring the achievements of our faculty, staff and students.

Each Spring, Clarkson University has a tradition of holding recognition and awards events that honor the outstanding achievements of our faculty, staff and students. We take this time to recognize the talented and diverse members that make up our community. 

We celebrate all the unique Golden Knight achievements and why they matter: meeting challenges big and small, broadening their knowledge and understanding, excelling in research, scholarship, leadership, athletics, innovation, and more.

These celebrations culminate in a concluding set of ceremonies that bring together the entire Clarkson community. These ceremonies demonstrate why Clarkson matters. Friends, family, and supporters are welcome to attend.

ASET-REU interns will have opportunities to conduct research in a range of disciplines organized in broad categories of 

  1. Aquatic Natural Sciences, 
  2. Aquatic Sustainability Sciences and 3) Aquatic Resource Engineering. ASET will focus on the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River watershed environmental research. The program includes a programmatic emphasis on Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River with the community of Akwesasne (St. Regis Mohawk Tribe).

Scholars will be diverse in perspective, discipline, and demographics with intentional recruitment from a variety of institution types, grade levels, and disciplines/sub-disciplines.

Scholars will develop a diverse background and interdisciplinary network, foster an understanding of research, create strong relationships with mentors and peers, and acquire experiences in all aspects of “doing research”, motivating them toward and positioning them for a STEM career.

The Clarkson REU program was an amazing experience which helped me narrow down my interests and find what I was truly interested in. Being able to be a part of a great cohort and group of professors left me with longtime friends and connections that I will cherish forever.
