‘Clark chose me’

Haley Wilder ’18 is on part two of her Clark journey. After receiving her sociology degree, Wilder worked as a litigation paralegal at the Worcester firm Fletcher Tilton and as a faculty support specialist at Harvard Business School. That path steered her back to Clark. Today, Wilder is the University’s director of board operations. She triages between Clark leadership and the board and executes the board’s meetings.

“I can look out my office window and see that the work that I’m doing is affecting the students walking on the green,” she says. “There’s a direct impact.”

Wilder is also an assistant coach of the women’s basketball team and is pursuing a master’s in sports and esports administration. On this episode of Challenge. Change., Wilder discusses her passions for law and basketball and how working at her alma mater has shifted her perspective.

“I always say that I didn’t choose Clark, Clark chose me,” she says. “It just felt like it’s where I should be.”
