Erin Dobson Cooley

Assistant Dean of Admissions

Erin moved from Massachusetts to Oregon over 12 years ago. Upon completion of her undergraduate degree, she realized she was attached to Portland for good. Erin found her way to Lewis & Clark in 2005 through her passions for international exchange and higher education. She's excited to work with students anxious to explore academics and the world beyond. Erin spends her time working with students in New England and the Bay Area in northern California- both areas that feel like home for her. She also coordinates the October Open House program and acts as the Admissions Office web guru.

In her free time, Erin, her husband, and their two dogs like to hike, raft and snowshoe in the great Pacific Northwest. Travel is not just a job requirement, but also a personal passion (favorite recent trips include Mexico and France).
