Clark Campus to be Carbon Neutral by 2030

(not about lacrosse, but stay tuned for lacrosse updates in 2010)

According to a recent Telegram and Gazette article, Clark is one of 650 colleges taking the pledge to be more green.  The pledge is part of Clark's participation in the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC).  More info about ACUPCC

The University will upgrade energy systems, promote a bike share program and work to establish a culture of sustainability.

The students have started a program called "think before you ink" designed to reduce the number of printed pages.

"students are given a “paper allowance” for how many sheets of paper they can use in a year. If they go over 500 sheets in a semester, they have to pay 10 cents a sheet." T&G  12/16/2009

Clark Names New President

"David P. Angel, Clark University's provost and vice president of academic affairs, was named the ninth president of the college today."  Boston Globe 12/30/2009

"As the internal candidate, David Angel went through an exhaustive and comprehensive evaluation process unparalleled in the University's history," said Mosakowski. "We are confident that he will provide the leadership to open a new chapter for Clark.

Angel's resume 

This explains why Clark didn't build 20 foot walls around the campus

This is not about lacrosse, but it is good press for the school and it makes all of us look smarter.  Clark's neighborhood efforts were praised in a recent episode of Chronicle on Channel 5.

"A Huge Boost for our Program"

A recent press release on LaxPower.com profiles Clark's new assistant lacrosse coach Nick Gallagher.

 "To be able to bring in someone of Nick's playing experience and character is a huge boost for our program," said first-year head coach Jeff Cohen. "We are excited to have him join our coaching staff."

Gallagher is a former High School All-American and standout player at Ohio-Wesleyan University.  He is very dedicated to sport and will be a valuable asset to the coaching staff. 

Announcement from Coach...

Clark lacrosse alumni, family and friends,


I hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to the holiday season. Below are two brand new web pages that were created to spread awareness and excitement for Clark Lacrosse. The first is a Clark lacrosse clothing store that will be available only until December 4^th, but guarantees delivery for Christmas.  It allows you to purchase all kinds of gear as well as pick your logos,  and a portion of the sales will go directly to the lacrosse team. www.wearyourcolors.com/clarklacrosse

The second web page is the newly established Clark Alumni website. It was created and will be maintained by former Clark players and will have all the updates that the Clark Lacrosse homepage will have but will be geared towards the Alumni. Please check out the pictures of the old Granger Fields and make note of the Welcome Back Alumni Home Game on April 10^th.http://clarklacrossealumni.blogspot.com/

Please pass this email along to other alumni and remind them to send me their contact info for our database.

Thanks again,  Coach Cohen

The Clark Lacrosse Hall of Famer

Did you know there is only one lacrosse player in the Clark Athletics Hall of Fame?

Mike Maltais '91 is the first men's lacrosse player to be inducted into the Clark Athletic Hall of Fame. One of the most dominant offensive players in the program's history, Maltais helped lead the transition of the sport from club to varsity status during his four-year tenure.

Maltais was a three-time Patriot league all-star, an All-New England East/West all-star and two-time team Most Valuable Player. He also set all of Clark's single-game and season scoring records and career marks, many of which still stand today. Maltais earned Clark's Fred Hebert Trophy, presented to a male senior athlete for outstanding contribution to the athletic program. He is Clark's all-time leading scorer with 98 goals, 80 assists and 178 points.

After a short stint as Clark's head lacrosse coach from 1997-1998, Maltais started his own business, servicing exercise equipment in the greater Worcester area. He was also a certified cycling coach and a national ski patrol member. Maltais has been involved in many charity events, including mechanical support for American Diabetes Charity Bike Ride and Courage Classic Charity Ride for a children's hospital in Denver, Colo.
