Program Leadership
The Clark Scholars Program team is committed to facilitating the success of our Scholars.
This team includes the Faculty Director and Program Coordinator, but also includes a broader support network within the School of Engineering and Applied Science. In support of the Clark Scholars, our team maintains responsibility for program design and implementation, but also for facilitating broader engagement with the University community at large. Scholars are encouraged to to talk with program staff to help achieve their goals.
