Winter Safety Information 

With wind chills reaching as low as -40, frostbite can occur within 10 minutes. During the winter weather advisory, stay indoors whenever possible. Be sure to keep your cellphone charged and have access to blankets, water, and other necessities.  

If you must go out, dress in layers: wear fabrics that retain heat, use insulation layers to trap air, and choose outer layers that are wind and water-resistant. Stay dry and avoid excessive sweating to maintain body heat. 

Stay indoors, stay warm, and stay safe, Clarkies!

Spiritual Life

Supporting Your Spiritual Journey

We are deeply committed to supporting the spiritual journeys of persons from all religious traditions and those with no traditions. Our diverse and global community is well represented on campus through the Office of Campus Ministry, student organizations, academic classes, special events, lectures, and workshops. The goal is to have interesting and well-rounded graduates who are engaged in their spiritual journey and in a dialogue with the Catholic tradition.

The office of campus ministry nurtures theological depth, spiritual wholeness, and living for Clarke’s mission in the students, staff, and faculty by offering integrated formational programming, transformative missional experiences, and opportunities to nurture others.

We aim to walk with students as they learn about all of the world’s religions and their own personal faith journeys. Clarke is dedicated to growing the complete student in body, mind, and spirit.
