Debbie Clark returned to Alfred University in 2005 as editor of alumni publications, which include the weekly E-News electronic newsletter and the online magazine. She says interviewing alumni, faculty, and staff for Alfred Magazine articles and working with Class Correspondents on their Class Notes reports is very rewarding. But, she says, some of the best rewards are meeting alumni in person when they come to campus for events or Reunion activities.

In addition to her alumni work, Debbie writes press releases about faculty, staff, and student accomplishments and activities for the local and regional media. She also supervises Office of Communications writing interns, a task which keeps her connected to the students who will eventually join the alumni ranks.

She is a member of the Allegany County Development Advisory Board and is a distribution volunteer for Angel Foods in Wellsville. She is also a mediocre BUNCO player and Pilates exerciser!

Debbie earned a bachelor of arts degree in journalism from St. Bonaventure University. She and her husband, Larry, who earned his master's degree at AU, live in Wellsville. Their son, Bryan, is a journalism/mass communications major at St. Bonaventure University.
