The Clark College Faculty Speaker Series showcases recent experiences that have enriched both the life and teaching of a Clark faculty member. 

Faculty members share their developmental experiences with the college community – and members of the community at large – while addressing some of today’s most intriguing issues.  

Established by Clark College with support from the Clark College Foundation, the series honors individual faculty members and celebrates academic excellence.

Mark your calendars for our 2011-2012 season

When it comes to buying cars, what drives Americans? Sales were strong during the final months of 2011, and the industry is predicting additional growth in 2012. As customers return to the market, what will they find?

That will be the focus on Jan. 24 as Clark College automotive professor Mike Godson presents “Driving the Future: Automobiles in the 21st Century,” the next event in Clark’s acclaimed Faculty Speaker Series.

The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held at 1 p.m. in the Penguin Student Lounge, located in the Penguin Union Building on Clark’s main campus.

Returning there 20 years after for a sabbatical research, Dr. Frost discovered surprising changes in that "Siberian city of science." 

This presentation will also take place in the Penguin Student Lounge.
