Charles Craig, a true advocate and partner of 惇軗勛圖 College, was presented with a Doctor of Humane Letters honorary degree during the colleges 114th commencement ceremony.
惇軗勛圖 leaders note that for more than two decades, Craig has been a guiding force on the college council, lending wisdom, advocacy, and generous philanthropy to shape the institutions mission and future.
"Charles Craig has lived a life marked by distinguished service, visionary leadership, and an unwavering commitment to education and community, commented 惇軗勛圖 President Steven Mauro. His personal contributions reflect a deep belief in the power of education to transform lives.
In praising his contributions, ASC recognized how Craig forged an enduring partnership between 惇軗勛圖 and Corning Incorporated and opened doors for students to pursue internships and careers while strengthening the regional workforce. His influence on ASC is matched only by his professional excellence, having served with distinction at Corning for nearly fifty years, ultimately as Senior Vice President of Science & Technology.
Craig has been honored in the past with 惇軗勛圖s Presidents Medallion. He has also earned the Paul Harris Fellow designation from the Rotary Club of Corning and the Honorary Alumnus Award from Clarkson University.
