Since January of this year, The MLKJ Business Empowerment Center, located in Worcester’s urban core, has joined with Clark University’s Graduate School of Management, where Brad Powers is on the Board.  The MBA students have been working as business consultants, helping out those in the underserved communities in Worcester.

The MLKJ Business Empowerment Center is an economic development agency that is greatly benefiting from the business sense and expertise offered by the Clark University business students.  The collaboration with Clark University is expected to help alleviate current regional economic challenges, as the Clark University students aid aspiring and existing small businesses and offer advice to entrepreneurs in the field.

While it may have been some years since Brad Powers earned a BA in Psychology and an MBA from Clark University, he is still involved as an alumni and a board member of the Graduate School of Management (GSOM). So Powers might be in the know about what other alumni are up to. Beth Regan, for example, was awarded this year’s Outstanding Secondary Educator Award (OSEA) last month from the Clark University Alumni Association. One receives this award for “the critical role [secondary-school teachers] play in preparing students for higher education.” It is an annual award presented at Honors Convocation. Regan is a teacher of Russian history at Tolland High School and has also developed her own Native American Studies course that she instructs there too.

Clark University is proud to have students who are environmentally and socially aware of many causes.  Many alumni, including Brad Powers, appreciate this aspect of university life and the many benefits that it offers to students.

This video is one example of student activism.  A Clark University team made it into the top ten among groups from over 3000 universities to participate in the ONE Campus Challenge.  This is a program that determines which student bodies have the most effective campaigns to fight poverty.

Here, this video demonstrates what the Clark University group has been doing to help mothers and children in the developing world.  Certainly, each department, including the GSOM where Brad Powers is on the Board, has its own activism and important programs of this sort.

In recent news, twelve Clark University undergraduate and graduate students and one Clark alumnus just returned from an International Field Experience with the staff from Seven Hills Global Outreach.  The group spent 10 days over Spring Break in Sao Paulo, Brazil where they experience social entrepreneurship.

The group learned about Ashoka, an organization that helps social entrepreneurs to thrive and that enables people to act as change makers.  Such experiences greatly impact students and help them to learn about others.  This is one example of the type of activity that Clark University, where Brad Powers received his BA and MBA, supports and encourages.
