ClarkFEST, formerly known as Fall Fest and Academic Spree Day, highlights the academic and research excellence of Clark’s talented undergraduate students through work conducted under the mentorship of the University’s faculty and staff. Twice a year, students share their research, academic achievements, and creative works through posters, presentations, and interactive exhibits.
ClarkFEST Spring 2023 will be held on Wednesday, April 26, from noon to 4:30 p.m. Registration for presenters opens on March 1.
Student posters and presentations will be held in Tilton Hall and Grace and Lurie Conference Rooms in the University Center. Interactive media exhibits will be located in the Barrett Center.
ClarkFEST Spring 2023 will be conducted in accordance with Clark University’s most recent COVID guidelines. Masks are encouraged.
Registration for ClarkFEST Spring 2023 is now open! All submissions must be received by March 31.
Registration is restricted to current Clark undergraduate students only.
However, we welcome all Clark community members, parents, friends, prospective students, alumni, partners, and employers to attend, view these works, and participate in intellectual exchanges with our students.
