Sustainability at Lewis & Clark

Events

Each year, Lewis & Clark hosts a number of events on topics related to sustainability. Two annual highlights include the Environmental Affairs Symposium and the Natural Resources Law Institute Distinguished Visitor Series.

The Environmental Affairs Symposium is one of Lewis & Clark’s four annual student-run symposia. Offered by the Environmental Studies Program, each year the event brings together experts from around the country for a dynamic series of lectures and panels on contemporary issues in environmental affairs. 

Each year the NRLI Distinguished Visitor Program brings a leader in the field of environmental law to share his or her expertise with the Lewis & Clark Community.

Other recent or upcoming events related to sustainability can be found below.
