After serving in the United States Marine Corps for three years, Stark returned to CMC in 1961 as director of alumni relations.[2][1] He was eventually chosen as assistant to founding president George C. S. Benson.[1]
Stark led CMC through major changes over the course of his 29 years as president.[2] In 1976, the college began admitting women, and in 1981, it was renamed Claremont McKenna College to acknowledge its co-ed status while also honoring founding trustee Donald McKenna.[3]
Stark continues to serve on the CMC Board of Trustees[4] as a life trustee. His contributions to the college are remembered through the Jack L. Stark Distinguished Service Award,[5] given in recognition of outstanding service to the College, the Alumni Association and to the Alumni of Claremont McKenna College and the Jack L.
