Be an Alumni Mentor in Entrepreneurship
Once a Clarkie, always a Clarkie!
Do you want to give back to up-and-coming Clark entrepreneurs? We are looking for talented alumni and experienced entrepreneurs to engage with our students through mentorship.
Mentors can help one-on-one on a specific entrepreneurship project, as a dedicated Ureka Challenge mentor, or be a guest speaker in an entrepreneurship class. We are always excited to see alumni!

Upload Open Positions and Internships
Clark utilizes Handshake an online job posting platform to help Clark students with their career and job search. Clark students access Handshake to find jobs and internships within organizations that they can apply their talents and knowledge they gained at Clark University.
If you have questions about Handshake, please contact Kelly Kochis, Associate Director of Career Services
Student Venture Funding Support
Several Clark entrepreneurs are moving their venture to the next level and are looking for funding – large and small.
