Jessie
Cunningham
Junior
Major: Civil Engineering
Hometown: Buffalo, New York
About Jessie
I am pretty active at Clarkson because
I'm on the Steel Bridge Team, in the Archery Club, on the Yearbook
Staff, in the Jazz Band, in the Newman Club, and in the American Society
of Civil Engineers. Sometimes I stop by other club meetings too, so if
there is any club on campus that you want to know about, drop me a line.
I like most things that are out of the ordinary, such as anime. I also
have an interest in other cultures and will be studying abroad in Hong
Kong next year.

Major: Civil Engineering

About Claire
I play on the varsity women's volleyball team and love to participate
in the intramural sports offered by Clarkson. I am a representative in
the Student Athlete Advisory Committee and also the secretary of the Clarkson
colony of Theta Phi Alpha Sorority. During the weekends, I work at Club
99 or help in the athletic office, working the men and women's basketball
games. My hope for a summer job is to continue work where I was employed
last summer, at a National Youth Sports camp.

Senesac
Sophomore
Major: Communications & Mass Media
(Business Studies Minor)
Hometown: Fairfax, Vermont
About Brian
I am a very active member of the Clarkson campus as I work in Cheel
Arena on weekends, and lifeguard at the pool during week days.
I am a member of several clubs like Clarkson Theater and Alpha
Kappa Psi. I occasionally venture off site and do a little skiing
in the surrounding area, or hit up some of the restaurants around
town. I love sports, hockey, soccer, basketball… all the good stuff!
I am always around, and always looking to meet new people. If
you have any questions about college or Clarkson itself, feel
free to drop me a line.

Samantha
Vokaty
Sophomore
Major: Political Science and Psychology
(Pre-law Minor)
Hometown: Hillman, Minnesota
About Samantha
I am an outgoing person who loves to make people laugh. I love school—I'm
officially a Sophomore! I'm from Minnesota, but it's surprisingly a lot
like upstate New York. I'm a Political Science/Psychology major with a passion
for Law. It's going to be a great year!!. On campus, I am most active in
Student Senate, the yearbook, the newspaper, and the writing club. I definitely
enjoy getting involved. My goal here is to make the most of my four years,
with hopes of going to law school in the future. Most of my time is spent
on school, and on campus activities.
