Lizzie Pollock

First-Year Admissions Counselor

As a recent graduate from Clarke, I am well versed in everything Clarke has to offer. From the care and support you get from professors and peers, to the smaller class sizes, all the way to having the world’s BEST cookies, there are endless reasons why Clarke was the best option for me. We truly are a community here and everyone you meet is looking to see you succeed. I look forward to getting to share why I chose Clarke, and why you should too! I can’t wait to CU on campus!

Daija Bates

Daija Bates

Director of Transfer Admissions

When I first came to school, I was very reserved. I am still a quiet person, but I’ve grown so much in my time here at Clarke as a student and I didn’t want that to end. I’m excited to share what I’ve learned and help the next generation of students as they come to Clarke. It’s important they see that it’s OK to feel a little uncomfortable because that means you are growing.

What I appreciate most about Clarke is how our Core Values—Freedom, Education, Charity, and Justice—show up in real ways. We’re here to help you move forward in your career, make an impact, and be yourself along the way. No matter where you’re coming from or where you’re going, there’s a place for you here.

Associate Director of Admissions and International Student Services

At Clarke, I truly believe every student brings a story worth knowing. As the counselor for all soccer recruits and international students, I’m here to get to know your story and support you through every step of the admissions process. My goal is to make sure you have the tools, resources, and reassurance you need as you begin this journey. Whether you’re coming from across the country or across the world, I want Clarke to feel like home, a place where professors, coaches, classmates, and staff all know you by name and are genuinely invested in your success.
