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.

    Sustainability prepares students for life after L&C because it forces us to think about the future implications of our actions and the communities they will affect.

    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.
