“BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM, Clarkson offers a multitude of great activities and programs. We owe a lot of our personal growth and education to these programs, and we think they represent a cornerstone of the Clarkson experience. With that said, we understand that these programs cannot be sustained with the tuition and fees paid by undergraduate students. We want to see these programs continue long into the future, and they need financial support from alumni like us. This is why we support The Roundtable. Our gifts to the general fund have allowed the University to pursue strategic initiatives that keep Clarkson marketable and attractive for future students and employers; targeted gifts have helped the University complete major construction projects like on-campus fraternity housing and the Alumni Gateway.”
