Clark, Marilyn J. Scholarship for Student Support
Virtual Tour
Marilyn J. Clark graduated from Ramapo College in 1979 with a degree in Business Administration. As the mother of two sons, Walt Jamros ’95 and William Jamros, Ms. Clark attended the College part-time while working full-time at the Saddle River Day School. She had a successful 29-year career at Saddle River Day School, serving as the Director of Development. Ms. Clark has been a supporter of Ramapo College since her graduation, and in recent years has participated in events on campus including the Successful Women Event.
Ms. Clark was recently honored by Congressman Josh Gottheimer as a “hometown hero” for her tremendous volunteer efforts. She will also receive the President’s Award of Merit, the highest award given to a Ramapo alumnus, at the 2019 Commencement ceremony.
