Message from Father Clarke Video and Remarks
David M. Clarke, S.J., has experienced a rich and diverse personal and professional path. He earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree in organic chemistry from Gonzaga University, a doctorate in physical chemistry from Northwestern University, and was employed as a chemist at Inland Empire Refineries, Inc.
Blessing of the Building
Father Clarke discovered the Catholic faith as an undergraduate student at Gonzaga University. His experience at a Jesuit university inspired him to enter the Society of Jesus as a member of the Oregon Province in 1953. He was ordained a priest in 1964 and held academic and administrative positions at many different colleges before coming to Regis in 1972 as the 22nd president.
Ribbon Cutting
During his tenure as president from 1972 to 1992, Father Clarke made a lasting impression on Regis. He helped the University forge new pathways, discover new opportunities and invest more completely in its future. In the spirit of our Jesuit forefathers, his passion for education has been illustrated time and again by his dedication to this institution. Father Clarke began our adult programs and changed the name of the growing Regis College to Regis University. In addition, when Loretto Heights College (LHC) closed, he integrated LHC faculty and students into the Regis community through the addition of heath care education and other programs.
