As we celebrate #ClarkeDay on March 22-23, we wanted to dedicate this month's newsletter to some of the one-of-a-kind experiences that this online giving celebration helps make possible. From scholarships that help bring students from all over the world to Clarke, to gifts that allow us to spread our core values of freedom, education, charity, and justice to communities near and far, we are united in our commitment to the common good.


As an added bonus this #ClarkeDay, all gifts made to the Clarke Fund will be matched dollar for dollar up to $75,000 by John Kiefer.
