Episcopal Church Partnership

Clarkson College is pleased to partner with the Episcopal Diocese of Nebraska, an organization of more than 50 congregations located across the state of Nebraska. The deep connection between Clarkson College and the Episcopal church dates back to the late 1800s when Bishop Robert H. Clarkson and his wife Meliora founded the institution that would become Clarkson College.
