Podcast: First-year student navigates intersections of faith, culture, and education

Each year, Lewis & Clark enrolls more than 100 Third Culture Kids, or students who spent a significant amount of time living abroad because of their parents’ work. First-year student Louise Trueheart, a self-identified TCK, was born in Washington, D.C., raised in Toronto and then Paris, before she attended high school in Connecticut.

Through all of the change she encountered growing up, religion provided stability for Trueheart. In Paris last summer, she delivered a sermon before an audience that included President Bush, in which she discussed keeping the faith during one’s teenage years.

Listen to a conversation with Trueheart to learn about what brought her to Lewis & Clark and hear her unique perspectives about culture, Christianity, and student life.
