Tony and Karen,

Thank you both for all you’ve done to create a Clarkson that truly has a disparate impact on the world. You’ve taken us in just 20 years ago that was a small, respected technical university known for engineers, and grown it into an incredible beacon of innovation, equity, outreach, collaboration, and caring – not to mention all the amazing changes to the Collins Hill Campus!

Personal to me, thank you for your unwavering support of the Clarkson Pep Band, men’s and women’s hockey programs, and having the vision of Clarkson excelling academically and athletically.

You’ve truly created a culture that is unique, lasting, special and will serve Clarkson well no matter who the future leaders are. That’s the most amazing and critical achievement of any leader’s tenure and there are very few who have ever done it as well as you both have. Thank you for everything, and we will all miss you dearly.

Sincerely,

Luke Edsall, ’09

Hi Tony and Karen, it’s been a while, I suppose! Congratulations on a successful presidency, Tony-from my stint as Golden Knotes president, I know it’s not always a walk in the park! I always appreciated yours and Karen’s engagement on campus-whether it’s sending pizza over to the pep band during a women’s hockey game (let’s go tech!) and stopping by to say hello -which to a freshman felt like celebrities were present- to showing up to I’m pretty sure EVERY end of semester performance for the Knotes while I was there! You two were never unaccessable and I think that’s what makes great leadership and so many people have high regards for you both. Keep sharing kindness and I wish you both the best in the next endeavor.

I met you at the 2018 reunion (my 50th). I was impressed by what a nice person you were and impressed by how well you moved Clarkson into the present! You are now one of the reasons I am proud to be a Clarkson Alumnus.

Good luck and happiness in your future endeavors!
