Clarkson College has not always been a college. Instead, we began in 1888 as a school of nursing—the first in the state of Nebraska. Over the last 125 years, we've established a new campus, expanded our program offerings and adopted a new name. All the while, we've maintained a commitment to preparing our students to be the best in various realms of health care. This commitment to excellence has and always will remain a defining quality of Clarkson College.

Celebrate with Your Alma Mater

12 February 2018

The Alumni Association of Clarkson College is beginning the new year by preparing for the annual Alumni Weekend events slated for Sept. 27–28. Each year, the College honors the 50, 40, 25 and five-year anniversary classes, and the classes of 1968, 1978, 1993 and 2013 will be honored during this year’s September festivities. All alumni are invited to attend the events and celebrate with their peers and alma mater. In addition to Alumni Weekend, the Radiologic Technology program is celebrating their 25th graduating class with activities scheduled throughout 2018.

Alumni Weekend will kick off on Thursday, Sept. 27 with a brunch followed by a tour of the Clarkson College campus. The afternoon will feature a Heritage Garden Walk and dedication as well as a historic tour on Ollie the Trolley through downtown Omaha. On Friday, Sept. 28, an educational event will take place in the morning. That evening, alumni will gather for dinner and a night of entertainment.

Reserve Sept. 27–28 and come back to celebrate with friends, College faculty and staff. Thursday’s events are a gift to you from Clarkson College, and there is no charge to attend them. The educational event and dinner scheduled Friday each have an associated fee.

The Alumni Association hopes you and your fellow classmates will join us on campus in September. Look for additional information about Alumni Weekend in the mail, on the Clarkson College website and in the spring edition of the Alumni Times. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the possibility of honoring your graduating class, contact Alumni Coordinator Rita VanFleet at 402.552.3516 or vanfleetrita@clarksoncollege.edu.
