Show of hands: How many of you know that Clark University has a campus in Łódź (pronounced “woodge”), Poland? And one in Warsaw, Poland’s capital? We have one in Russia too, and close working relationships with universities in China.
With so many great things happening on Clark’s campus here in Worcester, it’s easy to forget that we have long-standing partnerships with these universities (we’ve been in Łódź since 2004, for instance) — and that the students who attend classes on those campuses have many of the same characteristics as our students here at home.
In my role as associate dean for international programs at Clark’s School of Professional Studies, formerly known as COPACE, I travel regularly to these campuses, including a trip earlier this month to Poland, so I can meet with administrators, faculty and current and prospective graduate students. One of my official duties was to judge students’ capstone presentations, which were really wonderful.
