Portland Chapter

The Portland area chapter serves to connect and engage alumni, parents, and friends of Lewis & Clark College.

Please let us know if you are interested in joining a steering committee for the chapter. Members will assist with contacting other Portlanders to help plan events, get ideas, and provide feedback.
