In terms of its physical structure, Clark University has probably come a long way since Brad Powers was an undergraduate and graduate student there.  But as a GSOM (Graduate School of Management) Board member, Powers is probably able to keep abreast of what is going on at his old school.  There are currently three new building/renovation projects taking place including the new John & Kay Bassett Admissions Center which looks to be quite something, featuring a state of the art facility “that will allow Clark to showcase the University’s strengths.”  It is named for President John Bassett, due to be president at Heritage University in Washington State, and his wife Kay.  In addition, the Wright and Bullock Halls are undergoing “substantial makeovers” too.
