Click on this.
*Step 3:* In the top left corner, a search bar will appear. Type in
“Clarkson University” and give it a moment to load. Our two new overlays
should appear at the top of the search results:
*Step 4:* Pick which overlay you like more and pick how long you want the
overlay to last. Then click “Use as profile picture” at the bottom:
We hope to see our new overlays spread across the Clarkson Facebook

Go Tech!
Thank you.

Residents of the town of Potsdam are invited to workshops to help develop
the municipality’s comprehensive plan. The ISE hopes that Clarkson will be
well represented in this process. We have been working with the town of
Potsdam in an effort to align the comprehensive plan with the NYS Climate
Smart Communities program <http://www.dec.ny.gov/energy/50845.html>.
Working with our local municipalities on this program is our strategy for
fulfilling Clarkson’s climate resiliency (adaptation) commitment. There
will be three workshops that the town has organized. Each meeting will be
held in the town hall from 7:00 – 8:30pm.
· 1/17 - Housing and Neighborhoods / Quality of life
· 1/24 - Business and Economic Development / Land Use
· 1/31 - Infrastructure and Energy
At each workshop participants will be asked to draft statements about the
current state, future goals, and implementation strategies for each topic.
Attached you will find a letter from town representatives inviting town
residents to the meetings. If you would like to give input online, please
go to *https://goo.gl/forms/aIfTsfllJunz3hXw2

If you plan on attending one of the sessions please RSVP by contacting Rose

Hope to see you there,
