Bicentennial Symposium: Legacies

Date: September 29 2006 Location: - Albany Quadrangle

Friday-Saturday, September 29-30
Albany Quadrangle & Agnes Flanagan Chapel

This final symposium commemorating the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Expedition is an open examination of the impact of the Voyage of Discovery on the people, environment, economy, infrastructure, and history of the American West.

Engaging environmental, economic, political, Native American, and policy points of view, Lewis & Clark College faculty and guest speakers will attempt to determine where exploration is headed in the 21st century and will provide a forum for reflection on what has been learned during this period of examination of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
