Clark Boothby 

Clark will help to develop the center’s service delivery model and assess its effectiveness as we grow to meet the needs of our large and diverse graduate student population.  His unique background in data & information management as well as educational assessment will allow him to use a data-driven approach to continuously improve the center’s outreach, educational programs, and digital resources.
 
Clark joins Georgetown’s Graduate Career Center from the F. David Fowler Career Center at The George Washington University School of Business, where he served as Data and Operations Manager.  In this role, he served a variety of technical and administrative functions, which included supervising a team of staff and student workers, running large-scale career programs and events, and monitoring the School’s career systems and outcome data.
 
Before working in career services, Clark’s background and education focused on survey research and the design of innovative educational assessment.  He worked at the Centre for Educational Measurement at the University of Oslo, as part of a team tasked with designing situational and game-based assessments to measure students’ 21st century skills.  Prior to his time in Norway, he worked at Hanover Research, designing and conducting research studies for K-12 and Higher Ed institutions globally.
 
Clark is constantly looking for ways to solve problems using the data at-hand, but always does so with a human touch.  He is thrilled to have the opportunity to help students navigate their own career twists and turns and help them develop stronger employment skills along the way.  Clark earned a BA in History and Public Policy and an MA in Survey Research and Analysis from the University of Connecticut as well as an MA in Educational Leadership from The George Washington University.
