Higgins University Center
The Higgins University Center (also known as the the UC) is the major hub for student activity on campus. The third floor offers meeting spaces and a home base for many of Clark’s nearly 140 student groups; the second floor contains the student mailroom as well as a performance and lecture hall; and the ground level comprises meeting rooms and the Information Desk, along with two distinct ways to dine: the Higgins Café (the main dining hall) and the Bistro. In the basement level, you’ll find the Craft Studio, a small performance venue, and the main mail room.

Dining on Campus
There are four places to get a bite to eat on campus: the Higgins Cafe, our main dining hall; the Bistro, a casual dining hub; Jazzman's Cafe, a coffee and snack shop in the library Academic Commons; and the Den, a grab-and-go cafe in the Alumni Student and Engagement Center that proudly serves Starbucks coffee.
Dining Services works hard to make sure meals are nutritious, delicious, and made in service of student dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, kosher, and more). Keeping sustainability in mind, they source local and regional foods whenever possible, look for fair trade options, and use biodegradable paperware.
