The Ohio State University at Newark

06/23/2026

Piper Clark quietly cut a wide swath in the landscape of Ohio State Newark's psychology department. Her journey through it comprised scholarships, awards, publications and a path to a PhD — all because her psychology instructors helped sharpen her tools. "Ohio State Newark moves mountains to ensure that students reach their full potential," said Brad Okdie, PhD, social psychology professor, "and Piper is a shining example."

A pioneer among her peers, Clark began doing research in her first year at Newark. She eventually presented her findings at local, regional and national conferences, taking home several awards along the way. She even served as the primary author of a published research article — an unprecedented feat for an undergraduate.

Now partway through a five-year doctorate program, Clark has successfully defended her master's thesis and continues collaborating with her former Ohio State Newark professors. “Before I started working with them, I really don't think I had the confidence,” Clark said. "I feel like they really changed me as a person. I wouldn't be where I am today without them.”
