Silva is Clark’s information technology specialist and lab manager. He sits on the both the Tech Fee and Information Technology committees, and was a member of the college’s recent accreditation efforts, as well as a member of the committee that brought “smart” classrooms to Clark. Silva provides technical support at college events and was instrumental in setting up the computer lab help desk. He also developed PaperCut, a print-management program that aims to eliminate wasteful printing at Clark’s computer labs.

Zhuang, Clark’s senior graphic designer, has created logos and uniform looks for such events and programs as the Clark College Jazz Festival and the K-Rod Run/Walk. Zhuang has won two national awards from the University and College Designers Association as well as regional and national awards from the National Council for Marketing & Public Relations.
