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 Fall 2023 will be held on Wednesday, October 25, from 12:30–4:30 p.m. Registration is open until October 1.
Student posters will be held in Tilton Hall. Interactive Media exhibits will be located at the Center for Media Arts, Computing, and Design. Oral presentations will take place in ASEC.
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.
