The Clarkson Board of Trustees has established a Presidential Search Process and as part of that process has appointed a Presidential Search Committee co-chaired by Trustees Georgia Keresty ‘83 and Sanjeev Kulkarni ’84. The following members of the University community were nominated and selected from a diverse pool of candidates to also be members of the Presidential Search Committee. While the members represent a range of constituent groups, they are all tasked with bringing a “university mindset” in their service on the Committee.
