Clark Meets with Honors Program Members

Craig Clark, interim vice president for academic affairs at Alfred State College, met with Honors Program members March 8 to describe his years working in Saudi Arabia. From 1982 through 1989, Clark was employed as a civil engineer at various locations in Saudi Arabia as the kingdom experienced rapid development and massive building programs. In that period, opulent mansions, industrial complexes, and entire cities rose out of the desert almost overnight. In coming months, Clark plans a return visit to observe progress in the past two decades. Clark has been associated with Alfred State College since 1979, serving in a variety of teaching and administrative capacities, including professor and department chair, Civil Engineering Technology, as well as dean of the School of Applied Technology and executive director of the Wellsville campus. Clark holds a master of science degree in civil engineering with a major in construction engineering and management from North Carolina State University, a bachelor of science degree in civil engineering from the University of Colorado, and an associate of science degree in engineering science from Jamestown Community College. Clark also serves as the mayor of the Village of Alfred.
