ONE L&C Champions is an institution-wide employee recognition program at Lewis & Clark. Employees from all three campuses are eligible to be recognized. As members of the L&C community, it is important that we take the time to celebrate the little important stories, or bigger broader accomplishments of the employees whose contributions are essential to the day to day operations of L&C. Please nominate an L&C employee you feel best exemplifies what it means to be a Pioneer.
