Just days after Clark University in Worcester announced it would establish the Becker School of Design & Technology, aimed at absorbing a portion of programming at Becker College, which is closing after the spring semester, Clark has received $250,000 in seed funding for the initiative.
The funding was provided by several Worcester-based foundations, including The Fuller Foundation, according to an announcement from the school. Clark did not detail other organizations involved in providing the funds.
“Clark is grateful for this early support and for the confidence these Worcester leaders have in the future of the Becker School of Design & Technology,” said Clark University president David Fithian, in a statement. “This helps us set the Becker School on a solid course for decades to come.”
At the same time, Clark said it has received support for establishing the new school from civic, business and nonprofit leaders.
The Becker School of Design & Technology at Clark will be home to Becker’s interactive media design program, as well as its esports management and integrated graphic design programs, three of the school’s standout academic tracts.
