Welcome President Christensen and Seema

Jim Wood ’64

Marc, Seema:

A cordial welcome to Clarkson University.  The start of a new school year is always an amazing time in the North Country.  Hope you both enjoy the changing colors, the deep blue skies and the many accents you will hear English spoken- eh! I cannot be at the Inauguration, but should be able to be at the Spring 2023 Trustee Meeting and will say hello then,  Best Wishes, Jim Wood-Clarkson Trustee

Several professors (Hammam, Bray, Mukundan, Cotalessa) took an individual and personal interest in steering me towards a career that has been both fun and rewarding (culminated by my appointment as a Bell Labs Fellow).  And the hockey coach (York) created a special “head manager” position for me when my aspirations to be a walk-on player fell short (I was later diagnosed with MS).  Wow.  Who could ask for more?

And now, I may get to meet Clarkson’s new President (the one with the stunning resume’) if he manages to attend a men’s or women’s hockey game at Princeton.

Hi Marc,

I wish you great success in leading Clarkson.  My dad and 2 brothers also went to Clarkson.  I really enjoyed my years there and as a member of Sigma Delta Fraternity – a wonderful house with great guys!  The Clarkson experience has been a great source of pride in my life’s journey.

Welcome to Clarkson

Clarkson matters to me because it gave so many of us the tools and background to succeed in life.

If you look at the plaques at the base of the trees which line the drive up to the Hill dorms ( at least that is what we called them when my class set the plaque in place at the first tree on the top of the hill) it states;

I grow with the class of ’62 since we both found life on Clarkson ground.

Taken Away

As a 1954 graduate,Clarkson provided me with an education that gave me both a satisfying,as well as a financially successful career in the construction industry. It also continued the work ethic instilled in me by my parents. Clarkson was not my first choice as I was accepted at several more prestigious universities but financial concerns dictated otherwise. This however,has never caused any regrets in choosing Clarkson.

You and your family must be outstanding to have been chosen to lead our wonderful institution.

Clarkson was a game changer for Becky and me. It is a significant part of what defines us.

Your leadership, hopefully will carry us through the rest of our life.

We love Clarkson and everything it stands for. The Institution, the town and its people are the salt of the earth.

We expect breakthrough results and it is critical that you EXCEED our expectations. It is a must because the terrain is always very challenging to navigate. It is exciting to be a winner!!!..

Please call on us if we can ever be of assistance.

God Bless…..Bob and Becky Empie

Welcome both of you to the Clarkson family. Clarkson is such a special and unique place; it offers world class engineering education in a beautiful and unassuming setting.  There is no university that would have been a better fit for me and I know almost every alum feels the same as I do.
