Clarkson University is 70 miles from the U.S. Army base Ft. Drum, located in Jefferson county, home of the 10th Mountain Division. The base supports, trains and mobilizes troops to Afghanistan and Iraq, Hurricane relief and is combat ready for rapid global deployment at any time. The university has a long standing history of Military Friendly School designation and Yellow Ribbon in which it has reinvigorated its supports to gain back. We are proud to continue this support and look forward to supporting more military servicemembers and veterans through our Student Support Services (Trio - SSS) program.
