Best Wishes On Your Retirement

Tony and Karen,
We wish a happy and healthy retirement. It is well deserved!
While I had graduated and left Clarkson before you arrived on campus, I have tried to stay connected with what was happening in Potsdam. I had the pleasure of meeting you twice in Houston and once in Colorado Springs. You have done much to improve campus facilities and have been a great spokesman/ambassador for Clarkson, northern New York and higher education.
One of the things that has impressed me most during your tenure as University President was your engagement with the student body. Whether it be helping students unload and get their belongings into their dorm room, inviting various groups into your home for dinner, letting a student be president for the day while you attended their classes, chance meeting in an airport or just being seen around campus I always looked forward to pictures of you interacting with students. I felt you were accessible and knew each student personally.
Finally, thank you for your support of our athletes but especially both hockey programs
Again, congratulations and best wishes on your retirement. Look back on your years at Clarkson with pride. Clarkson is a better place because of you.

Dear Tony and Karen,
Thank you for everything you have done for Clarkson and especially CAMP. I hope it was clear at the 2022 CAMP meeting in Clayton that your efforts and energy are greatly appreciated by faculty, students, NY state, and our industrial partners.
Here is what I was given by Corning to read out on behalf of Charlie Craig, who was representing the CAMP Industrial Advisory Board:
“Charlie picked out a piece of Steuben to give you on behalf of himself, CAMP, and the IAB. He specifically picked out this piece because a lighthouse stands steady in storms, and send an unwavering beam of guidance. We all feel that your leadership has provided steady guidance to grow the University and CAMP in quality and prestige, and in their contributions to society.”
I couldn’t agree more with this sentiment. Again, thank you!
Best regards,
Devon Shipp on behalf of all (happy) CAMPers.

One of Tony’s great strengths is his compassion and focus on people.
A prime example of this is when he and Karen came to Corning for the Memorial Service for our son Tom, Clarkson MS ’98.

You make people feel very comfortable with you. The day I saw you honoring the launching of a new student club with your presence, you won my heart completely. Though I have not had reasons to meet you, every time I see you, I see in you a notable role model for the Clarkson community, even when you are long gone.
Thank you President Collins for choosing to serve and lead us! Your good works remain with us.

Tony,
It has been an honor to have my office located right next to yours for the past five years! Thanks for guiding me when I was new in my role, and for being patient when I began drafting quotes for you. I will miss you stopping by and looking for a little afternoon snack from my treat bowl! 🙂 And I will miss saying “Hi TC!” And hearing back “Hi Mel!” as you walk past. Thank you for proving that true leaders know everyone’s name and are kind to each one of us. You will be missed!
