“I will be eternally grateful to Clark.” ELIOT STRIAR ’62, Attorney-at-Law, Columbia, Maryland

Law school was a natural extension and maturation of the seeds planted in me by my Clark professors. Clark’s diverse student body taught me to be tolerant and sensitive to the needs of others regardless of their ethnic or racial backgrounds or their religious beliefs or sexual preferences. These teachings were a precursor to the satisfaction I have received in my law practice from representing and counseling clients from all walks of life and helping them resolve a myriad of legal issues and conflicts they confront in their daily lives. This was true when I was a VISTA Volunteer and a legal aid attorney, and again when I served as a county attorney.

Be a Clarkie.

Today, as a private attorney with my own law office, the lessons learned at Clark govern how I practice law and lead my life, and are reflected in the respect and deference I bestow on others, whether they are my clients, opposing attorneys, judges, litigants, friends or adversaries. Hopefully with my donation I have begun to repay Clark for a debt I have owed for many years for the significant role Clark played in molding me into the person I am today. A debt that no gift can ever fully repay.
