Q. What is a Healthcare Directive, and why is it important to have one within your estate plan?

“They want football,” said Clark, who regrets that for business purposes Irish Illustrated only focuses on two sports.

Typical online sports stories include promising recruits making return visits to South Bend, current player features, and Notre Dame’s chances of making the national college football playoffs.

In education, Clark’s research focuses on emerging media. His doctoral dissertation investigated the skills needed by global journalists in the mid-21st century and beyond.

Clark’s teaching resume includes stops at Kentucky Wesleyan, Virginia Tech and the University of Evansville. He taught a multimedia journalism course at Notre Dame in 2016-17.

Clark returned in mid-July to the ND campus to address an alumni club-sponsored student send-off. Standing on the 50-year line of Notre Dame Stadium, he shared with students and parents the same message he imparted to ND students on the first and final day of his journalism course.

Clark promotes five virtues to students – focus, passion, positive attitude, having a thick skin and an entrepreneurial spirit.

“With the tools out there, students can connect with any- thing they want to do,” Clark said. “I always ask students, ‘what did they do today to get closer to their goals?’”

A Healthcare Directive is a document that allows you to specify your wishes concerning medical care in the event of an emergency or if you become unable to communicate those wishes. This can be in the form of 1) a Living Will, which provides instructions related to medical treatment, or 2) a Healthcare Power of Attorney that designates a trusted decision-maker to act on your behalf, if needed. A Healthcare Directive can help protect your loved ones from having to make difficult decisions during difficult times. By providing detailed instructions regarding your desired course of action for various medical scenarios, you can ensure that any decisions
