UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Engineering alumnus Shaun E.

A 2006 engineering science graduate, Clair is CEO of Clair Broadcast, where he oversees business lines to the broadcast market. The firm rents equipment and provides technical consulting to the entertainment industry.
Clair has helped diversify the company into new business beyond audio, including backline and wireless, communications, video and information technology systems.
He is also a project manager for Aermonix, a new sound technology delivered to concert-goers via a smartphone application. He serves on the board of directors of Music for Everyone, a nonprofit organization that strengthens the role that music plays in the Lancaster, Pa., schools and community.
Clair resides in Lititz, Pa., with his wife, Nicole, and their daughters, Bella and Lilly.

Winners are invited to return to campus for several days to share their expertise with students and the University community.
