Giving
Donor Stories
At Lewis & Clark College, lives are transformed by knowledge, enriched by experience, and made whole by service.
Every alum, student, parent, and donor has a story to share. Whether it is the story of why you choose to give to Lewis & Clark or what brought you to L&C in the first place, we'd like to hear your story, too.
When you make a gift to the College, you make a difference to today’s life stories—and to those yet to unfold.
You make it possible for faculty to share stories and learning that shape lives, stimulate minds, and deepen understanding. And, you make it possible for students who once only dreamed of coming here to discover, grow, and achieve.
We hope you enjoy hearing from a few members of the Lewis & Clark community who have chosen to share their stories with us.

Most people are astonished when reflecting on their experiences at Lewis & Clark and seeing how much their connection to L&C has grown. Brienne “Brie” Carpenter is someone who shares this sentiment. -
It was only after Jules’ father, a Lewis & Clark College graduate request that he take a campus tour on Palatine Hill, that Jules considered staying in his hometown for college. The campus’ beauty and the amazing professors swayed Jules into remaining in Portland and attending L&C. -
Although far from her Hawaii home, Myah found the global mission and vibrant faculty to be ideal on the campus of Lewis & Clark College. Once she set foot at L&C she was quickly taught that every student can make an impact in their communities, which she continues to do as an alumna through her consistent support of the College. -

I was born in Japan of Japanese and American parents. My studies and work have taken me to dense urban centers as well as small towns in Japan and the United States. Thinking across cultures—and across disciplines—seems natural to me, and I try to encourage this flexibility in students by including diversity in my courses. -
“Truth without fantasy is only half the story,” my mother told me when I was growing up in Czechoslovakia. To live a full life, I would need the imagination to conjure new realities. -
A field trip turns into a real-time study of an active volcano. Bits of material in a state park reveals secrets of the Ice Age floods of glacial Lake Missoula. Faculty and students from different disciplines exchange ideas fluidly, organically.You know you’re at Lewis & Clark College.
