Are you a new transfer student to Clarkson this year? Well, we have the opportunity of a lifetime for you!

You can move in early, get help with that amazing dorm room setup, and then hike with CUOC and meet incoming transfer students! All with no outdoor experience required 🙂 We will spend night by the river at Clarkson eating pizza and s’mores and getting to know each other. The day before your orientation, hiking to the top of a Saranac Sixer to catch some views. You will also get the unique experience of getting to know other Clarkson transfer students before school starts. Join this Pre-O, because it’ll be an amazing experience for all of us. See you this fall!

sup shawties! my name is abby. in my spare time, i learn about engineering and management (pretengineer if you will) but i’m pretty busy with my adventures. first piece of advice: go to class (unless you have an outdoor adventure planned because you must have priorities). my outdoor adventures include: ski fast, hike slow, canoe & kayak medium, climb rocks sendy style. i also do hot girl walks, hammocking with a book, extreme napping, etc, to relax. i’m also one of the best chefs in the backcountry. you will be amazed at the gourmet meals consumed on my pre-o. so definitely pick mine. it will be the time of your life guaranteed. as my second pre-o, i’m pretty good at this. you’re in good hands kids.


Quinn Mooney

Howdy! I’m Quinn, I’m a junior electrical/biomedical engineering student here at Clarkson. I love being outside, especially when I get a chance to be on the water. Kayaking, canoeing, waterskiing, sailing, you name it. I’ve done over 15 weeks hiking in the backcountry, so I know my way around a trail as well! I can’t wait to get out there this fall!
