Dave ’82 and Angelica Clark
More than three decades after graduating from Cal, Dave Clark remains connected to his alma mater as a donor and a Cal parent. “I’ve been a donor every year since I graduated,” says Dave, a portfolio manager, “in the beginning giving very modestly and slowly increasing over the years.”
Dave and wife Angelica are Cal parents. Their daughter Alexandra graduated in 2019.
“[Being Cal parents has] reinforced our desire to help Cal in any way we can,” says Angelica, a retired investment professional who also volunteers on the Cal Parents & Families board along with Dave. “It’s important to try and support the academic institution your child is attending.”
The couple supports the Cal Parents Fund and Intercollegiate Athletics, the latter inspired by Dave’s years playing rugby at Cal as well as Alexandra’s participation in women’s crew.
For the Clarks, Cal is practically a part of the family, and deserving of consistent support. “We feel it’s important to give back,” Dave says, “and we hope to instill that legacy of giving in Alexandra.”
