The first- and second-year cohorts of the A. James Clark Scholars at the School of Engineering met with members of the A. James & Alice B. Clark Foundation, Courtney Clark Pastrick, Joe Del Guercio and Natalie Grandison at a late-afternoon reception on Nov. 7.

The Clark Scholars Program is the foundation’s signature academic program and emphasizes three key components—engineering excellence, business acumen and service learning—characteristics the late A. James Clark embodied and wished to cultivate in others.
