PETER STURDEVANT '10
Interdisciplinary Engineering & Management
Changing schools can be tough, but it helps if the place you’re transferring to is as helpful as Clarkson was to Peter Sturdevant, ’10.
“Clarkson makes the process as easy as possible,” Sturdevant said. “They have a great transfer department that gets transfer students acclimated to the university quickly.”
Clarkson’s size helps, he said. “With only 3000 students, transfers don't feel lost in a sea of students” and it’s easier to get up to speed quickly. And that starts with day one. “On a student's opening day at Clarkson, they can choose the path they take,” he said.
Sturdevant is a former SUNY Morrisville student with an associate degree in engineering science. He is pursuing a degree in interdisciplinary engineering and management at Clarkson, with a minor in project management.
Sturdevant is optimistic about his future. “I plan to go everywhere that I can from here.” After he graduates, he hopes to get a project management job with a company like IBM or Accenture. “This will allow me to travel a lot and open more doors for where I can go next.”
As far as traveling goes, Sturdevant didn’t wait for graduation. He elected to study abroad in Australia as part of his curriculum. “The opportunity to study abroad is a great experience for anyone and will enable them to be more diverse, which is an awesome attribute to have.”
Sturdevant said when he leaves Clarkson, he’ll be ready for whatever’s out there. “Clarkson does a great job of tailoring their classes to give the students skills to use in the real world,” he said.
He said his classes provide useful information, problem-solving skills and the opportunity to learn through group work and presentations. Outside the classroom, he participated in two co-op opportunities with General Electric and two internships with Lockheed Martin.
Sturdevant said he doesn’t spend all his time with academics. He’s very active with the Outing Club, is in the Ski Club and plays recreational volleyball and soccer. “Clarkson has enabled me to have an awesome time while getting my education,” he said. “If you like to stay busy, then Clarkson won't let you down.”
His time at Clarkson and the people he’s met there have been “truly inspirational,” he said. “Students, faculty and staff having changed the way I view life in a positive way and I always think of these people when new situations occur.”
