You’re invited to Dinner with 12 Strangers!
The idea is simple: Attend a dinner with an alumni host and fellow students to share a good meal, good conversation, and a good time. Come to Dinner with 12 Strangers and leave with 11 new friends!
This dinner’s host is Clarke Vandervort, a 1975 Ohio University graduate who earned a B.A., summa cum laude, in classical languages and literatures. Prior to attending Ohio University, Vandervort served in the U.S. Marine Corp and was a Vietnam War combat veteran; he received an honorable discharge.

He worked as a civil and criminal litigation attorney in both West Virginia and Ohio federal and state courts. From 2001-15, he served as a United States magistrate judge for the Southern District of West Virginia.
