Recap of rededication of Clark College’s sundial Mike Pick (left), Bob Moser (center), and Dick Shamrell (right).Rain didn’t dampen today’s celebration as Clark College rededicated its landmark sundial. The sundial was originally proposed in 1983 by Mike Pick, a physics instructor at the college, as part of the college’s 50th anniversary celebration. Bob Moser, former director of public relations at Clark, took the lead in raising funds for the project by selling mosaic tiles, featuring donor names, that now grace the sundial plaza. As planning began for the college’s 75th anniversary, physics professor Dick Shamrell suggested refurbishing the sundial to enhance it for future generations. The sundial now includes a new 3D gnomon (the part of the sundial that casts a shadow). The college expects the time to be so accurate that the sundial will only have to be adjusted when the time changes to – and from – Daylight Savings Time. The rededication ceremony marked the conclusion of Clark’s yearlong diamond anniversary celebration.
