Since joining the BTW team, Dr. Erica Clark has been unyielding in her work for the advancement of BTW’s students. With a loving and genuine, yet no nonsense approach, Dr. Clark challenges students to set high standards for themselves while working tirelessly to help them meet those standards.

“I’ve worked with Dr. Clark since my sophomore year in high school. Initially, she wasn’t my counselor but I had to make her notice me. Later, she became not only my counselor, but also my mentor who I could count on for almost anything. She not only guided me with scholarships, internships, and college applications, she helped shape my passions and interests. She had faith in me even when I gave up on myself(especially the last few months in my senior year).

As far as her connecting me with Spelman’s Bonners Program, I am truly grateful. Dr. Clark is the reason I am attending Spelman College for FREE. If it wasn’t for her, I would not be at Spelman and I would most likely be a college drop out within my first year due the outrageous expenses.”
