Thom is sure to be seen in the hallways greeting staff and students by name and getting his morning coffee at the welcome desk. Thom shared, “I am in the midst of orienting myself to the people, practices, and procedures of Clarke. There have been a lot of moments of listening and engaging. The connections between people and families that lead to partnerships, collaboration, and inclusion - I’m looking forward to more of that.”
