Watch the 2022 Clarkson University Reunion Weekend Native American Art Collection Lecture given by Mike Smith.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael A. Smith \u201968 is an avid art collector who believes access to art is integral to a full educational experience and should be part of everyday life. This immediate and continual accessibility does not diminish the impact of art, but instead heightens its enjoyment, provides opportunities for a broader education, and sparks creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He graciously donated the majority of his art collection to Clarkson, including hundreds of paintings, sculptures, and works in other media. With his gift, Mike helps to create a stimulating and educational visual environment throughout campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike earned his bachelor\u2019s degree from Clarkson in 1968. He received his Master\u2019s in cultural anthropology with a research focus on the Iroquois in 1973 and his doctorate in political science in 1975 from Syracuse University. He is a retired club executive of the National Hockey League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
