Thank you to everyone who stopped by and talked to us at yesterday @ClarksonU open house engineering showcase! Our CEM students and C3G interns enjoyed talking to accepted students and showing them what we do here in the CEM program!

Talked about the exciting project that I’m privileged to be leading at Clarkson Univ. What’s even better is how @ClarksonCEM.bsky.social students are a part of how we are executing. BOLO for further updates. #ClarksonU #LetsGoTech #WeBuildYourFuture

Let's be absolutely clear: physically assaulting a US Senator for simply asking a question is disgraceful. We stand with Senator Padilla and all those peacefully defending working people against this administration's attacks.
Outraged. Federal agents tackled and handcuffed Sen. Alex Padilla while he was doing his job.
Some of us are old enough to have witnessed scenes like this in the fascist nations we fought in WWII. None of us have ever seen anything quite like it in the U.S. before today.
Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave individuals who gave their lives in service to our country. 🇺🇸
Their courage and sacrifice are the foundation of the freedoms we enjoy, and we are forever grateful.

You’re right, because she is certain to turn off those in the center. It’s not a worry it’s a certainty.
Congratulations to our very own Director, Prof. Erik Backus, who was recognized as the 2025 #ClarksonU Dist. Teaching Award winner as part of the commencement exercises this weekend. www.clarkson.edu/news-events/... #LetsGoTech #WeBuildYourFuture

If you’re not tuning into what Cory Booker is doing right now, I have seriously question your patriotism to the American democratic republic.
Wishing this team all the best of puck luck tonight as they compete for yet another national championship. Let’s go Clarkson University Women's Hockey! #LetsGoTech
Sat with the lab leader that was the punching bag for this (trans-genetic research). The POTUS is a total idiot.
Where is our #ClarksonU CEM Director today? Speaking at the Adirondack Climate Conference at the Wild Center about the NYS Climate Impacts Assessment and Nature Based Solutions for Buildings & Infrastructure. #LetsGoTech #WeBuildYourFuture
The MAGAites did this in response to Biden, we shouldn’t fall suit. It’s a sign used when there’s an acute event, not a chronic problem.
🔧✨ Kickstart your Career Fair experience at the Clarkson Construction Mixer! Sponsored by The Wesson Group, this event is the perfect opportunity to connect with industry professionals, network with peers, and get inspired for the future of construction. 🏗️
X post: Elon Musk @elonmusk We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone to some great parties. Did that instead.
U.S. policy was to help bring an end to apartheid and establish a nonracial, democratic government. In response to this policy and the Act, USAID/South Africa was responsible for financing projects that apartheid victims viewed as critical in promoting social, political, and economic change through peaceful means. The mission enabled community consultation and ensured that the United States did not impose foreign-defined solutions to local problems. USAID created projects and activities to respond to the priorities of the black community and its leaders, maximized black participation and leadership, and ensured activities had a linkage to the general objectives of U.S. policy. First-year funding for the program was $25 million, which was raised to $50 million the second year. The main project areas were community outreach and leadership development to redress the repression of black-led institutions; educational support and training to address the educational crisis in South Africa; black private enterprise development to combat the inhibiting effects of apartheid–induced discrimination in private enterprise; university grants to help create a new generation of economic and political leaders; human rights; legal assistance; labor union training; and health and nutrition
What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.
Happening now: #ClarksonU Phalanx conducts the first of its roundtable interviews to help determine the university service and leadership awardees. #LetsGoTech

What @mikeduncan.bsky.social said.
The six stages of climate denial are: It’s not real. It’s not us. It’s not that bad. It’s too expensive to fix. Aha, here’s a great solution (that actually does nothing). And — oh no! Now it’s too late. You really should have warned us earlier.
— Katharine Hayhoe
