Clarkson Spotlights

Clarkson student Kate Kerwood smiles for the camera

"I'm part of Clarkson Formula Knights and I'm the aerodynamic subteam lead, which means I design the aerodynamic package of the car. When I first starting driving the car, I thought I was going to be terrified...but once you're in the car and in the zone, it's just really freeing. And driving at competition, you get all those excitements and the adrenaline rush. And it's a really, really great experience that I don't think I would have anywhere else."

Leveraging STEM in a program that allows me to develop an understanding in information systems, creating strategic pathways, and learning to present and communicate effectively with my colleagues gives me confidence for my future. I wouldn't change it for the world!"
