LIFE OU T SIDE THE CLASSROOM

Academics are a huge part of the college experience, but there is much more to Clarke than what happens in class.

You can cheer on the home team, take part in a music or theatre performance, grab a coffee or Lotus tea at the campus coffee shop, and volunteer with one of our dozens of student organizations – that’s just a typical Saturday at Clarke! Keep the fun going 24/7 by choosing to live on campus in one of our four residence halls. With so many opportunities, there’s something for everyone at Clarke!

PART OF THE PRIDE

Whether you want to play at the collegiate level or prefer to cheer from the sidelines, athletics are a source of pride for everyone at Clarke. They can also lead to deeper community connections.

Starting with the golf team, I realized that being a part of something opens you up. I signed up to be a Tuckpointer to help with move-in. I joined the Clarke Activities Board, Dance Marathon, and the Sport Management Club. Being involved has added so much to my experience, and I want to be the person new students come to when they are trying to find their way at Clarke, just like my teammates were for me.”
