The Dr. Jo Alice Blondin Student Opportunity Fund

When Jo Alice Blondin, Ph.D., arrived at Clark State College in 2013, she didn't simply assume the presidency - she set out to transform what a community college could be for its students, workforce and region.

Over 13 years as Clark State's fifth president - and across a 33-year career in higher education - Dr. Blondin has led with urgency, compassion and an unwavering belief that student success must come first. At the center of every decision made was a simple truth Dr. Blondin lived by: When students Succeed, communities thrive.

Even small obstacles can stop a student's education in its tracks. The Dr. Jo Alice Blondin Student Opportunity Fund provides support for students facing urgent financial challenges - ensuring that no student's journey is derailed by unexpected hardship.
