Provost's Newsletter: January 2022
Message From the Provost
Hello from the snowy North Country of New York!
Our holiday season started as it should, with a good powdery snow! I am excited to share some of what our Golden Knights have been up to this fall. It’s no surprise we chose to highlight some of the work we’ve done around COVID-19 and the extraordinary successes of our student and faculty-founded businesses. These are linked, as is all that we do here at Clarkson, by the commitment to solving problems that matter. Golden Knights are tireless in their pursuit of sustainable solutions. Many of the highlights you see in our newsletters were funded through the generosity of our donors. We are ever grateful for their continued support and I look forward to engaging them this spring on Academic Giving Day.
Please read on for more, and may all of your projects be complete!
— Robyn Hannigan

Grow Your Own
We’ve taken our sustainability efforts to new levels, from growing our own veggies in the campus garden to growing our own teachers in Schenectady. Clarkson has partnered with three other institutions to offer Grow Your Own, a pathway for underserved and underrepresented students to become teachers in the Schenectady area.

Multilingual Misinformation
Tackling the “infodemic,” or slew of pandemic misinformation, is going to take concerted effort across all fields and cultures. And that’s right up our alley. Three Clarkson professors from different cultural backgrounds and fields of expertise recently joined forces to investigate misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms around the globe.
Aquatic Stewardship
In 2019, the Indian River Lakes Conservancy created a volunteer program for K-12 students to foster aquatic resource stewardship in northeast New York. After securing funding this past summer, Clarkson professors have expanded the program, which now offers high school credit, and hope to offer it to even more students in the state.
