  • Prospective Undergraduate Students

    Due to continued concerns about the spread of COVID-19, the Office of Admissions has limited the number of on-campus visitors during the 2020-2021 academic year. Visits are currently available exclusively for current first year/transfer applicants to the college by pre-registration only; walk-in visitors will not be accommodated.

    Plan Your Visit

    Lewis & Clark College is delivering a hybrid in-person/online education model for the 2020 - 2021 academic year, with safety protocols in place to protect our community. Students were also offered the option to take courses remotely. To learn more about our plans, please see our COVID-19 Ongoing Response website.

    International Affairs Symposium Focuses on Control

    The 62nd annual Lewis & Clark International Affairs Symposium is one of the oldest student-run symposia in the country. This year’s event, which runs from April 8 to April 10, is titled Strings Attached: Tracing the Global Systems That Bind.

    a-MOSS-ing!

    Lewis & Clark’s beautiful campus is home not only to lots of evergreens, native shrubs, and flowers, but also an abundance of moss. In honor of this underappreciated plant, Lewis & Clark’s Natural History Club held its sixth annual Moss Appreciation Week in mid-February. The popular campus event featured traditional favorites, like the Moss Petting Zoo and the terrarium-building workshop, as well as new events, including Moss Murmurs in L&C’s Ear Forest and a one-of-kind Gastropod Derby. Special guest Jenna Ekwealor, a bryologist from San Francisco State University, led a moss walk and delivered a lecture on the secret life of moss that grows under rocks. This year’s Moss Week was organized by club leaders Deanna Sunnergren BA ’24 and Sammy Kutsch BA ’24.

    L&C’s New Dance Moves

    Lewis & Clark adds a dance concentration, which will be led by Tiffany Mills, the college’s new director of dance.
