\u201cMr. Clark was a visionary whose impact on engineering education and practice has shaped our school, the university, and the world at large,\u201d says Ed Schlesinger, WSE\u2019s Benjamin T. Rome Dean.<\/p>\n

Through Clark\u2019s support, Clark Hall, home to the Department of Biomedical Engineering, opened in 2001. \u201cThe students and faculty working in Clark Hall demonstrate Mr. Clark\u2019s belief in the critical role engineers play in solving important societal problems,\u201d says Schlesinger.<\/p>\n

In 2008, Clark endowed the Whiting School\u2019s deanship in honor of his mentor and colleague, Benjamin T. Rome \u201925. \u201cBearing this title is a tremendous honor,\u201d says Schlesinger. \u201cI remain grateful for the faith that Mr. Clark placed in our school, in our future, and for the legacy he has left to us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
