Clark Named "College with a Conscience"

Alumni know it. Current students know it. Faculty and staff know it. Now, the rest of the world will know, too, that Clark is a college with a conscience.

Clark is one of only 81 institutions nationwide selected by the Princeton Review and Campus Compact for a new college guide, "Colleges with a Conscience: An Engaged Student¹s Guide to College."

Highlighting socially responsible colleges and universities, the book is designed to help high-school students incorporate service and involvement opportunities into their college-selection process and to showcase campuses that have made an institutional commitment to engage in their communities. The guide hit bookshelves in June.

Schools were nominated for the guide based on five specific areas: engaged student bodies; support for activism; scholarship and admissions practices that support students who do community service; support for service learning; and strong student voice in governance.
