The Closing of Clarks Summit – a Family Life Interview

Clarks Summit University, a Christian college and seminary in eastern Pennsylvania, has ceased operations. While there is grief and sadness surrounding the school’s closure this week, One leader on their staff shares with Family Life News stories of positive responses as well — gratitude, celebration, and a commitment to hope.

Lynze Mewhort has served as a program director and a dorm parent supporting students there. She talks about the immediate reactions among the students and staff at Clarks Summit, appreciation for what the school has done to shape lives and communities across its 90+ year history, and arrangements now underway to help current students transition to their next places.

 

This interview was part of the Family Life Noon Report on Wednesday, July 3.

Pennsylvania Congressman Glenn Thompson offered his reflections on Clarks Summit on Tuesday, July 2.
