Clark has served as vice president for academic and student affairs at the school since 2003.
SMWC says Clark has overseen many developments at the college, including the addition of a fully accredited nursing program and the recent launch of the school’s first doctoral program.
“The College has been on a growth trajectory since 2015. As we’ve been intentional in expanding academic programming, student resources and co-curricular opportunities, it has opened avenues for increased enrollment, new athletic teams and new buildings, such as the most recent residence hall, Les Bois Hall,” said King.
King noted that Clark also has implemented several undergraduate majors including kinesiology and exercise science and expanded the master in arts therapy curriculum.
“The promotion of Dr. Clark to provost is well-deserved. She works at a high level and is currently working to assemble a team and implement a student success and retention initiative. She has elevated her job with continuous learning and improvement. She is a trusted colleague and a great resource for all of us,” said King.
