Emanuel Clarke
Class of 2011
Emanuel Clarke sends warm wishes and care to all fellow alumni. He recently had a kidney transplant and that will end him needing dialysis. Even while on dialysis, he accomplished a lot of great things. He learned he had to work for himself where he could control his work schedule to coincide with his treatment and medical schedule. He has run two businesses, even donating services to people who have had difficulty or tragedy in their lives. He would like to do more with the wonderful degree he earned at Bemidji State, and now he won’t be tied down to a machine three times a week. As a student, he had to get up at 4:45 in the morning three times a week to go to Sanford Care to get dialysis.
