Senior capstone

The academic career of many Lewis & Clark students culminates in a senior capstone experience. Project topics are as varied as the individuals, and for some, the capstone is a springboard to their first job. Take a look at what some members from the class of 2007 explored:

• “Biogeography of the Spider Genus Loxosceles in the Andes of South America” (biology major)
