Mark Clemente enters his 23rd year as a staff member within the Regis athletic department in 2024-25, including his 15th year as a member of the athletic administration.
Clemente was elevated to his current position of Associate Director of Athletics for Operations in May 2010. Clemente's responsibilities include overseeing the department budget and business management, event management and logistics, all areas of facility management, and direct supervision over numerous employees within the department's staff.
In April 2024, Clemente received the Faculty/Staff Appreciation Award from the Regis Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) for his leadership and support in game and event operations.
Clemente is a mainstay not only within the athletics department, but throughout the Regis College community, as he also assists with major campus events including Founders' Day and Regis Fest. In the spring of 2022, he received the Life Saver Award from the Regis College Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment.
Over the course of Clemente's tenure at Regis, he assisted the college in its transition to a co-educational institution in 2007 as well as its shift into the Great Northeast Athletic Conference. He manages the multi-million dollar outdoor athletic facility completed in 2009.
A member of the faculty in the Health and Fitness Studies Program, Clemente has been deeply involved in the Sports Management curriculum, teaching Introduction to Sports Management, and designing and implementing the Legal Issues in Sports Management Course.
Clemente holds an Advanced National Diploma and State Goalkeeping Diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and coached the Nor'Easter-Stingers '92 Girls Premier Soccer Club. Clemente has also served on the ECAC Women's Soccer Selection Committee since 2007.
During each of Clemente's first four seasons at Regis, the soccer team managed to double its victory total from the previous year. He was named CCC Coach of the Year following the fall 2005 season, when he led the then 21-year-old program to its best-ever record.
Clemente took over the reins of the Regis College women's soccer program just prior to the fall 2002 season, after spending the 2001 season as an assistant coach at Roger Williams University. Clemente also served as the head women's lacrosse coach for two seasons.
A native of Cumberland, R.I., Clemente played four years of NCAA Div. II soccer at St. Andrews College in Laurinburg, N.C., where he earned his bachelor of arts in political science in 1998. After leaving St. Andrews, Clemente attended Roger Williams University School of Law, where he was conferred a Juris Doctorate in law in 2001.
