Albright Alumnus Named Interim Chaplain

Albright alumnus Paul E. Clark, M.Div. ’73 has been appointed interim chaplain and director of the Multi-faith Center at Albright College.

Among his duties, Clark will nurture the spiritual life of all constituencies of the College, support the diverse religious communities in their celebrations, and foster attention to human values in the liberal arts. He will also be Albright’s liaison with the United Methodist Annual Conference.

"When I think of all the fine people who helped shape the chaplaincy here at Albright, I feel very humble sitting in this office," Clark said. "More than anything else, I hope that I can offer some small measure of hope and love to this community."

Since 1998, Clark has served as associate pastor at Zion’s United Church of Christ in Reading, Pa. During this time he also worked in the Gingrich Library and taught as an adjunct lecturer in the English Department. His courses are: “Creative Writing,” “Men in Transition” and “The Nonviolent Warrior.”

Clark holds both a master’s of art in religion and a master’s of divinity degree from Lancaster Theological Seminary.

Tennis Courts Receive a Facelift

Thanks to the generosity of the Alpha Pi Omega fraternity on the occasion of their 75th Anniversary Reunion, much needed renovations to Albright’s six tennis courts were completed over the summer months.

Some of the work included: surface repaving, painting and striping of the courts; replacement of posts, nets and fence; installation of a new windscreen; restoration and replacement of sidewalks; and reseeding of the grass areas.

Herbert C. Miller Jr. '61, who has been instrumental in the renovation project, said, "Since Dale Yoder was a member of APO and the coach of many winning tennis teams, we felt that it was appropriate for our fraternity to get behind the renovation of the courts. Now, as we move into the second phase of the project, which will be raising funds for bleacher seating, I hope the brotherhood will respond favorably and contribute however they are able -- even if it's $5, $10, whatever, so that we have 100 percent participation."
