California here you come

Bob Sukup ’73

Tony and Karen,

Thank you for all you have done for Clarkson. My wife and I ended up in California as a result of 3 other Clarkson Engineers I went to school with. I was so surprised that you made it to California several times. I enjoyed going to the events. Our local paper will recognize local graduates from college and every once in a while I see Clarkson come up. Your trips to California paid off.

THANK YOU!

Pickup Basketball battles your 1st year at Clarkson

Pickup Basketball battles your 1st year at Clarkson

Marc O’Brien ’84

Hi Tony,

I still have fond memories of my Dad (Charlie O’Brien)  taking me for pickup basketball games when I was in high school.  It was your first year on campus as a professor.  You and I were the scrappiest players on the court and still don’t know who threw more elbows 🙂   It was always a pleasure meeting with you in the future as you became President.  I became an Alumn and was on the business school advisory board.  You and Karen are a treasure for Clarkson and I wish you a wonderful future.  Thanks for the memories as well from my teen years!

Peace and Tranquility in the North Country

Peace and Tranquility in the North Country

WARREN E WILLIAMS ’63

The Presidential Team has done an excellent job, during many tumultuous years in a Country in turmoil, keeping the University above it all. During your reign CLARKSON has done nothing but gained reputation while keeping its charm and smallness which was appreciated in ’63 and I am sure is appreciated by the present student population. 

GREAT JOB and best of Luck for all the rest of your tomorrow’s.  The Williams

Thank you, a million times over!

Thank you, a million times over!

Malczewski Bri ’19

Tony, 

Thank you for making the Clarkson family what it is, your and Karen’s commitment to the students, fostering a fantastic community for all involved, and for creating a culture that changed the lives of so many. Choosing Clarkson was the best decision I’ve ever made, and my memories from my time there will likely carry on for generations thanks to the quality of friendships that were developed there. The accolades for the school speak for themselves on the quality of academics, but one of the most unique things about Clarkson was your involvement with student’s activities, inviting us to your house on multiple occasions, and leading by example in so many ways. 

Best wishes for a life in retirement filled with happiness and love! 

Best wishes, 

Bri
