The Clarke Compass inspires me to interact in diverse events and reflect on my pursuits in an awesome way. If I want to compete on the lacrosse team, play the saxophone, get involved in the community, join Playmakers Improv and make the Dean’s list, the Clarke Compass helps me manage all of those things!

The Clarke Compass Defined

The Clarke Compass is Clarke’s personalized, one-of-a-kind plan that tracks your movement through college to ensure that you are career and life ready upon graduation. Compass is here to help make your academic experience comprehensive so you leave college with the tools employers seek. In the most basic terms, The Clarke Compass is a method of tracking all your experiences in college so that when you graduate, you have a tangible, all-inclusive resume of your time spent here that you can present at employment or graduate school interviews. In a nutshell, it will make your life easier and more organized.
