I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all that you and Karen did for the students. I am thinking in particular of the MAE student who was in Iraq and ended up needing emergency heart surgery in a hospital in Syracuse. (Chris U… ?). In any case, you guys visited him in the hospital and he eventually got back to Clarkson and finished his degree. The care you showed played a big part in his will to finish his degree.

Tony (and Karen),
You leave Clarkson a far better place because of you both. Many memories from fun evenings spent together in Potsdam and a few on the river. Your imprint will be indelible and your reputation very long lasting. The Clarkson community will miss your enthusiastic and inviting style, your global perspective and endurance to succeed among many other very positive qualities.

Dear President Collins,
sending my daughter off for the first time during a pandemic spelled panic. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated all of your announcements and talks throughout the years. I always felt comfortable with my daughter at Clarkson, knowing you were steering the ship. Thank you for your constant support and care for all your Clarkson students and parents!

In a time of much change in higher education, you steered Clarkson in a direction where it has a very strong position and bright outlook for the future. Your support for the university, including the pep band, has been outstanding. It is hard to imagine somebody who would have served Clarkson better for the last 19 years, and I want to thank you for that.

Greetings Mrs. & Mr. Collins,
As a transfer student to Clarkson in 1992, I had only two years to absorb it. And yet, it left a very positive lasting experience on me. Some of it circumstantial such as great roommates and proximity to Adirondacks… however I did get a job that I eventually came to love via on-campus recruiting program. I remain with the company nearly 28 years to the day. Back to Clarkson – your efforts keeping it going strong as you have done I’m sure has touched so many more lives. I am so grateful for your efforts! Don’t seem to have good shots of me when I was a student, but attached is my wife and myself atop NoonMark Mtn in 2016. I would not have become an ADK 46-R and found my lifetime hiking hobby if it were not for Clarkson!
