2015 Jun 16

Amanda L. Ryan of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., a senior at Clarkson University majoring in financial information & analysis, received the following award(s) at the University Recognition Day ceremony during the spring semester:

Phalanx Inductee: Phalanx is Clarkson’s highest recognized honorary leadership society. It consists of a group of selected members of the Clarkson community who have demonstrated leadership skills and active participation in campus activities, along with above-average academic abilities, outstanding character and high morals. Phalanx inducts new members during University Recognition Day.

Student Marshal Award:Clarkson University has a long history of developing great leaders. In the spirit of this storied tradition, the Alumni Association has developed a new distinction for our graduates: the Clarkson University Student Marshal Award. The privileged designation of Marshal is intended to honor students who stand out as leaders, but may not have yet been recognized for their contributions to the Clarkson community. Those ultimately chosen for this honor must be eligible to participate in the May commencement ceremony and demonstrate outstanding “Campus Involvement and Service” and “Community Involvement and Service.” The recipients will be honored during University Recognition Day. In addition, they will lead the degree candidates into the arena during the Commencement ceremony and will have their names called first among Clarkson graduates.

The Commendable Leadership Award for Seniors:This award is presented to juniors, seniors, graduate students, faculty, staff and administration members who have demonstrated outstanding leadership abilities and quality participation in organizations associated with Clarkson and the Potsdam community. The award recipients exhibit exceptional leadership qualities and the versatility to balance all aspects of college life. New Phalanx members are selected from the group of Commendable Leadership Award recipients.
