Melissaratos Hails Clark School's "Knowledge Economy" Role at Alumni Event

At the 2nd Annual Baltimore Alumni Networking Event at the Engineers' Club in Baltimore, featured speaker the Honorable Aristides Melissaratos, Secretary of Business & Economics for the state of Maryland, praised the part played by the Clark School of Engineering in helping make Maryland a "knowledge economy" and asked alumni to continue their vital support of the school's efforts.
