Clark University, where Brad Powers received his B.A. in psychology and his MBA from Clark’s Graduate School of Marketing, is located in Worcester, Massachusetts. Clark is a private research university as well as a liberal arts college, which was founded in 1887; it is the oldest educational institution in the United States founded as an all-graduate university. Today Clark University also has an undergraduate program, and along with Harvard and Yale Clark is one out of only three New England universities to be a founding member of the Association of American Universities.
One interesting fact about Clark University is that it is the second educational institution in the United States offering a Ph.D program. Another little known tidbit is that Clark’s geography department is the only North American geography program to actually have a mountain range named in its honor. Paul Siple the famous meteorologist, explorer and the inventor of the “wind chill factor”, and graduate of Clark’s geography program named the Clark Mountains of Antarctica and its peaks after his faculty instructors. Thus, within the Clark Mountains are the peaks Jones, Atwood, Burnham, Walter Elmer Ekblaw and Van Valkenburg.
