Artwork by Dante Diez ’27, Simon Pinchbeck ’26, and Huang Truong, M.S. ’26, will be on view through June 6 at the Harold Stevens Gallery, located inside WCUW (91.3 FM Community Radio).

“Mannequin” is a collaborative exhibition of photography, video, and sculpture examining how human identity is shaped by digital technologies.

First-Gen Pinning Ceremony
2026-05-17 11:00 - 12:30 | Higgins University Center, Tilton Hall
Clark University is proud to honor the achievements of our first-generation* or first-generation 1.5** college students.

*An individual whose parents/guardians did not complete a bachelor’s degree. This does not include siblings.

**The student is not necessarily the first in their family to go to college as defined above, but typically navigates college like many other first-generation college students due to self-identifying as not having prior exposure to or knowledge of navigating higher institution; e.g., if your parent and/or guardian completed a bachelor’s degree outside of the U.S. or if you have only had close contact with people with minimal college experience.

Join us for a powerful community event uniting families, friends, caregivers, and advocates in the fight against ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s Disease). This annual walk is a community fundraising event bringing people together to raise awareness, honor those we’ve lost, support those living with ALS today, and fuel critical research toward treatments and a cure.

The Walk to Defeat ALS is more than just a walk — it’s a day of hope, remembrance, and action. Participants of all ages and abilities come together to share stories, celebrate strength, and show those affected by ALS that they are not alone. Funds raised support patient care programs, advocacy efforts, and cutting-edge research that make a real impact locally and nationwide.

Whether you walk in honor, in memory, or in solidarity, every step helps move the fight forward.

Register today and join the Worcester community as we walk together to defeat ALS.
