Community Connections Run Deep

THE MANY ROADS TO CLARKE

In 2025, the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center estimated that 36.7 million working-age adults in the United States had earned some college credit, but not a degree. At Clarke, we are proud to offer new and growing opportunities to help more people complete that important milestone, no matter what their path may look like.

COMMITMENT TO THE GOOD OF ALL

As the 2026-2027 academic year approaches, the Clarke community is reflecting on what a “commitment to the good of all” really means. From volunteering in the community to introducing new opportunities to connect, we're highlighting some of the ways our students, alumni, and employees live the Core Values.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Clarke University was proud to support Opening Doors Dubuque's "Healing Spaces" project. Led by Executive Director Jessica Schlader '23M, organizations throughout Dubuque contributed new lighting, paint, and more to make the Teresa Shelter a more welcoming place for women experiencing homelessness.

Clarke sent volunteers, as well as opening residence hall space for Teresa Shelter residents during the four-day renovation.
