I can not claim to have found this tidbit on my own as another university retiree pointed out to me that Wikipedia gives and perhaps withholds unique information about the university. Under Notable alumni, there are seven graduates associated with athletics, one deceased legislator, and one talk radio personality, but there is no one from science, business, academia, armed services, literature, philanthropy, or the arts. Doesn’t that make for a rather strange picture?
Nothing is said of any past or present faculty who have distinguished national accomplishments. Perhaps Wikipedia does not allow such listing or perhaps someone thought we had none to list. Who knows?
No one has ever found Joe Grunenwald, our CU president, short on an answer to any question within a hundred mile radius of the university, so where are the answers Joe? We’ve been around since 1867. Ain’t we got’em? Charles Marlin
Information on Wikipedia can be edited at anytime by anyone, therefore, it is not an official source for university news. The alumni association honors many alumni, friends and faculty each year with our distinguished awards. We have honored those from science, business, academia, armed services, literature, philanthropy, and the arts. We also recognize distinguished faculty for their achievements. Please visit our site at http://www.clarion.edu/alumni under the awards tab for a full listing. We are very proud of our alumni, friends and faculty. We got’em and we are proud of ‘em!
