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.

I was shown one of the many ways I can work with people and the outdoors thanks to the Summer Sustainability Internship course. For my future career, I hope to engage people with the natural world in their own community.

More about Catherine
The Summer Sustainability Internship course has not only taught me a lot about social media management, digital design, and workplace communication, but has also helped me on my academic journey as a religious studies major and double minor in Middle East and North African (MENA) studies and ethnic studies.

More about Cass
Not only was I connected with a paid internship through the Summer Sustainability Internship course, but I was supported throughout the entire process. Faculty at L&C want to help students grow and succeed, and that is where I have felt most supported.
