Sustainability

Lewis & Clark is committed to learning, innovation, and principled action on matters related to sustainability. Our research and actions extend beyond our campus into the wider world, we build on the best available scholarship and practice in our endeavors, and we recognize the importance and interrelatedness of ecology, economy, and equity.

The Summer Sustainability Internship Course made the application process enjoyable. It reduced stress, worry, and anxiety, and it paired us with dedicated and passionate employers who were really interested to get to know their future employees.
