What does community look like to you? At Clarke, community takes on many forms. Perhaps it looks like a torn work glove brought back from a hard day's work on the Campus Ministry service trip. It could include participating in the Earth Week tree planting ceremony as one communes with nature. Or it could be found in the office of the alumna who offers guidance through counseling during a time of crisis.


In this month's newsletter, we are celebrating the many ways Clarke's commitment to the common good creates community near and far.
