Favorite Spot to Study on Campus and Why: I like studying in the spot with the high tables near the Bistro. It’s this little corner underneath the stairs, so it feels secretive but it’s still a good people watching spot.
Favorite Bistro Snack: Pizza rolls combos!
What has been your favorite thing about going to school at Clark?
I love the friendships and connections I’ve made. They have been so important in making me who I am and supporting me in learning to love myself. I love being surrounded by passion and care.
What will you miss most about Clark?
I’ll miss the club life. I really enjoy being active on campus so I’ll miss not being in the loop.
What clubs and activities were you involved with on campus?
I was the co-chair for the real food calculator, which is an auditing tool for tracking real food on campus and I was an e-board member for food truth. I was also in Variant Dance Troupe and Vagina Monologues.

What are your best words of wisdom for underclassmen?
The great thing about college is that you get to make the meaning you want during your time here at Clark!
What are your plans post-graduation?
I will hopefully do 5th year MAT program with the hope of teaching high school history, which I’m very excited about!! Even though I’m no fully leaving Clark – fingers crossed – it’ll definitely be different!
Thanks, Talia!
