Penn State hosted a Clark Scholars gathering for the Northeast region on March 3-5. The Clark Scholars are undergraduate engineering students from universities across the Northeast who are part of the A. James Clark Scholars Program. The Penn State Clark Scholars are supported by a $15.5 million investment from the A. James & Alice B. Clark Foundation, which was matched by Penn State with $10 million in 2019. The scholars came together for three days of a variety of activities, including tours of the University Park campus, leadership panels, networking events, engineering design challenges and a reception on March 3, where Clark Foundation leadership and Penn State leadership, including President Neeli Bendapudi and Interim Provost Justin Schwartz, gave welcome remarks, pictured here.
