Frequently held events

Alumni & Friends virtual book club
The Alumni and Friends Virtual Book Club, hosted by Clark’s University Librarian Laura Robinson, is an opportunity for Clark alumni and friends to connect with the University by exploring classic and recent books. These events are offered throughout the academic year, and we also occasionally welcome special guest hosts to discuss works they’ve either written themselves or ones in which they have been deeply involved. Participation is easy and can by at your own pace.
Recently featured books:
- Lesbian Potentiality and Feminist Media in the 1970s by Dr. Rox Samer
- Poet Warrior: A Memoir by Joy Harjo
- The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson

This is a time for alumni celebrating their milestone reunion years to reconnect with Clark, attend events, and catch up with former classmates.
