Dean of the College Laurie Ross on finding your passion in college
Laurie Ross ’91, M.A. ’95, dean of the college and professor of sustainability and social justice, remembers how important her study abroad experience in Costa Rica was in finding her passion and career.
Experiential learning can look like study abroad, an internship, serving as president of a campus club, or building a video game with teammates. The path from college to career looks different for each Clarkie, and The Clark Experience helps students harness their creativity and critical thinking skills to graduate with confidence and find success.
“I think it’s really important for students to remember who they are, what they value, and feel confident that the liberal arts education they’re getting at Clark, coupled with experiential learning, is a beautiful recipe for not just getting the first job, but also getting the jobs after that.”
