Mark Clemente enters his 24th year as a staff member within the Regis athletic department in 2025-26, including his 16th year as a member of the athletic administration.  

Clemente was promoted to his current position of Associate Director of Athletics in the summer of 2013 after being elevated and moving on from a two-sport coaching role 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.  

In 2005, Clemente led the inaugural Center for Campus Ministry Service student service trip to Villa El Salvador, Peru and continued the effort six other times in the next 12 years.  The Center continues to drive the Mission of The Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston with as many as three groups a year even today.  

Over the course of Clemente's tenure at Regis, he assisted the college in many fundamental changes for both the institution and the department, most notably its transition to a co-educational institution in 2007 as well as seeing out three major Division III conference affiliations, moving from the Commonwealth Coast (now Conference New England), to the New England Collegiate Conference, to its shift into its current affiliation into the Great Northeast Athletic Conference.  

Since moving into the administrator’s role in 2010, Clemente has been charged with managing all aspects of the multi-million dollar outdoor athletic facility completed in 2009.  The complex was critical to the additional sport sponsorship directly related to the college’s co-educational transition.  It has served as a home to half of the department’s sports teams, and it’s planning immediately opened opportunity for the launch of Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse, Men’s Soccer, Men’s Tennis, and the rapid rise of the regionally recognized Men’s and Women’s Track & Field programs. 

Regis has served as host of multiple Great Northeast Athletic Conference Track & Field Championships, and directing the meet has been the responsibility of Clemente, who has chaired the GNAC sport on three different occasions since Regis moved into the conference affiliation. 

Over the course of 16 years, Clemente has been directly navigating community engagement and rental revenue for the department.  Additionally, his oversight has also guided the investment and development of new space and initiatives resulting in facility improvements over that time span.  Multiple efforts by the college to improve space for Athletics including two locker room upgrades, expanding a wing of College Hall to serve the staff and student-athletes, upgrades in the Sports Medicine Training Room, and its most recent addition of a varsity strength & conditioning facility have resulted in nearly $250k in improvements.  

Many of these developments can be largely attributed to a consistent fundraising efforts behind the annual golf tournament that is sponsored by the department and spearheaded by Clemente.  Since his direct oversight in June of 2013, Clemente and his committee have been driven well over half a million dollars from sponsorships and donors to help maintain fiscal the demands of the evolving Division III student-athlete experience.  

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 since its inception in 2008. 

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. He and his wife Alisha reside in central Massachusetts, and Clemente is often found competing in age-group soccer both indoor and outdoor throughout the year.
