Dog earns a master's degree

Clarkson University just awarded a Master's degree to Griffin Hawley, a Golden Retriever. He happens to be a service dog of another graduate, a woman.



This is not the first time Clarkson has done this. Their raison d'etre:

Clarkson University welcomes service animals trained to assist people in all aspects of education, research, and campus life. The Board of Trustees recognized that Griffin has demonstrated extraordinary effort, steadfast commitment, and diligent dedication to the wellbeing and student success of his owner Brittany. The two have pursued 100% together a graduate degree in Occupational Therapy attending all the same classes, lectures, faculty appointments, group study sessions, social activities, research projects, and clinical experiences, fully making Griffin an equal member of the Clarkson Golden Knights family.
