“Clark played an indispensable role in shaping my career trajectory,” Mendes says.

“The faculty members were exceptional. Despite the absence of a dedicated course in spatial health, the faculty readily incorporated this area of interest into every aspect of my education. Their willingness to accommodate my aspirations was truly remarkable.”
