Mary Frances Clarke M E DA L L I O N
In 1843, Irish woman Mary Frances Clarke journeyed into pioneer territory and formed a congregation of religious women, the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. With a belief in changing hearts and minds, Clarke University was born.
For each year of membership, you will receive a custom medallion commemorating people, places and events from Clarke’s historic past and present. In addition, Founders’ Society members receive exclusive updates and invitations. For more information please visit clarke.edu/founderssociety. The Founders’ Society medallion program was underwritten thanks to the generosity of the Clarke University Board of Trustees.
