Regional Alumni Communities
The Clark University Alumni Association has Regional Alumni Communities all over the world, from Worcester to San Francisco, from London to Taiwan. Each community has or will have an Alumni Council composed of Clark alumni dedicated to the success of Clark University and its Alumni Association.
Goals of Regional Communities, Community Councils and Alumni Executive Council
- Re-engage alumni with the university
- Give alumni voice on campus
- Allow Alumni Association to reach out effectively and create a working network of Clarkies consisting of students, alumni, faculty, staff, friends and parents.
Structure
- Regional Community applies to all alumni living in a regional area
- Regional Community Council applies to group of alumni volunteers who agree to take on responsibilities of varying capacities in the Regional Communities
- Coordinator applies to the leader of the Community Council, who will set objectives/goals and ensure achievement of said goals, as well as act as liaison to Alumni Council
- Secretary applies to the officer whose primary responsibilities will focus on records, meeting minutes, etc.
- Chair applies to the person who will take on specific responsibilities of an assigned subcommittee and ensure achievement of subcommittee's goals
- At-large Member applies to all persons who may not be able to take on long-term responsibilities, but will be available to participate in short-term projects and in subcommittees

Coffee In Action: Road Trip 2008
We are two friends on a road trip to learn about coffee, community and sustainability in the coffee industry. We left on Feb. 12 and are traveling around the United States to experience small coffee businesses that are involved in their local communities while also contributing to the improvement of the global coffee industry. We are especially interested in environmental sustainability and social responsibility. Please check out our blog and let us know if you are in the vicinity of any of our stops!

New England Championship Regatta
Invitation to fifth-annual Alumni and Parents Luncheon
Dear Alumni,
I am excited to be named Clark's first full-time rowing coach. This is my fifth year at Clark and I am very happy with the progress of both the men's and women's programs. This past fall, we had over 60 participants between the two programs. I am currently working on posting all of the rowing archives online for you to browse: the years 1942-1959 will be posted this spring and 1960-1970 will be posted next fall. If you have any photographs or literature that you would like to contribute please e-mail them to me or mail to Erick Thiemke, 950 Main St, Worcester, MA 01610.
I would also like to extend an invitation to you and your family for our fifth-annual Alumni and Parents Luncheon on Sunday, May 4 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. May 4 is also the day of New England Fours Championships so you will have the opportunity to see Clark compete. Please contact me if you can attend and let me know how many will be in your party.
