Provost's Newsletter: July 2024
Message From the Provost
Greetings from the Clarkson University campus and welcome to the July edition of the Provost's Newsletter. In this issue, we take a look at our new master's degree focusing on cybersecurity and a new program that will allow students to earn a BS and an MBA in only four years. We also cover some honors for our faculty and a trip by our physician assistant studies students to care for patients in Nicaragua. I hope you enjoy reading about our gifted students and faculty as much as I enjoy interacting with them every day!
