Bobby Sharma ‘21, M.S. ’22
Majors: Business Management and Economics
Graduate of 4+1 master’s program in finance
Bobby knew he wanted a school that had small class sizes and an active campus life. As soon as he was accepted, he was asked to join the cross-country team, which was a huge plus for him.
“On top of that, I was able to pursue my master’s with a full tuition scholarship.”
Favorite Class: Management Capstone
“We brought together the knowledge we gained within our major to have in-depth class discussions, and it gave me the confidence that I was prepared to contribute to a real-world work setting.”
After graduation, Bobby worked at J.P. Morgan Wealth Management in New York City. Now he’s an investment operations analyst for Brandeis University Endowment.
“Clark has a strong relationship with the community. In my first-year management class, we worked on a project with a local nonprofit. It helped me be a little more adventurous in my first semester rather than sticking to campus life.”

An entrepreneurial culture
Our award-winning Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program offers an entrepreneurship and innovation minor.
Students showcase their ventures and sell their wares at weekly Clark Collective Pop-Ups on Red Square, one of the main outdoor gathering places on campus.
Clark student entrepreneurs pitch their businesses at our own Clark Tank and the intercollegiate WooTank events modeled on the popular show “Shark Tank.”
Rowan Turner ’26 and Eli Burgess ’26 developed their business idea in a class called Clark Tank, which challenges students to develop a pitch, then present it at the Clark Tank competition.
Their idea is called ParentLock, a phone safety app specifically built for families on a family phone plan. The goal is to encourage better communication between adults and their children.
