“Many members of the organization are deeply involved in our efforts; they are Clark State alumni, donors and foundation board members. They understand the needs of the Springfield community and our students,” Overholser said.

“Our community is represented within Clark State as faculty, staff and students. We’ve been in Springfield for more than 40 years, and we want to promote Clark State however we can within the Hindu community,” he said.
