Clarkson's 庆祝活动 & Recognition of Excellence Weekend (CREW) -- April 18-20, 2024

Honoring the achievements of our faculty, staff and students.

每年春天, 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, 奖学金, 领导, 体育运动, 创新, 和更多的.

These celebrations culminate in a concluding set of ceremonies that bring together the entire Clarkson community. These ceremonies demonstrate why Clarkson matters. This year, Clarkson’s 庆祝活动 & Recognition of Excellence Weekend (CREW) will take place April 18-20.

Friends, family, and supporters are welcome to attend.
