"Your support and camaraderie have been essential to my journey, and I am deeply grateful for the countless memories we've created together. And, none of this would have been possible without the love and support of my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I love you."
White arrived at Clark in January of 2003 and served as an assistant athletic trainer for eight years before being promoted to head athletic trainer in 2010.

Greg's leadership during the Covid pandemic was exceptional and I could not feel more thankful to have worked alongside him during his career at Clark. The students of Bay Path will benefit from his competency and professionalism, and we wish him well."
