February fun in photos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s been a busy month at Clark. On Feb. 4, the Undergraduate Student Council and the Division of Student Success invited the campus community to The Table Without Ends, an opportunity to have meaningful conversations over food. Then, students donned dresses and ties for an evening of beginner-friendly Waltz and Contra dancing, taught by a professional instructor, during the Waltz Right In Valentine’s Dance hosted by the Residential Programming Board on Feb. 12. Finally, students enjoyed dancing, mocktails, and music on Feb. 15 at the Brazilian Student Association’s Carnabrasa Brazilian Carnaval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
