The Sister Mary T. Clark Center
The Sister Mary T. Clark Center promotes the development of ethically and socially responsible leaders for the global community by emphasizing community service and reflection as inseparable components of this development. Community Service, Academic/Service-Learning, Global Citizenship, and Religion and Spirituality are Clark's four core areas designed to enhance the Manhattanville student college experience embedded in social responsibility. Each core area offers students the chance to connect service, leadership, and civic participation with academics, resulting in learning opportunities that build upon awareness of social, economic, political, and religious issues, skills for interacting with diverse communities, and the ability to be catalysts for change.
In furthering its goal to create a diverse community, the Clark Center works closely with student organizations, academic departments, administrative offices, and community agencies to promote the exploration and celebration of culture and positive inter-group relationships. Through partnerships with social service, private and government agencies, the Clark Center also sponsors programs and opportunities for national and international service-learning.
The Clark Center programs provide a safe space where respectful, honest dialogue takes place and learning is a daily experience.
