Deserved Distinctions

July 25, 2014

Lewis & Clark students and graduates are winning a bevy of awards from prestigious organizations that include the Fulbright Program, the National Science Foundation, and the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation.

Seven members of the class of 2014 and five other alumni will spend the next year overseas after receiving prestigious awards from the Fulbright Program. This is the largest number of Lewis & Clark students and alumni earning Fulbright honors in a single year. Three of our students have been named Goldwater Scholars this year—more than at all other Oregon colleges and universities combined.

These accolades attest to the inspiring energy and intellect of our students, outstanding teaching and mentoring by our faculty, and the many ways our alumni advance knowledge.

“Lewis & Clark has taught me to never be complicit in complacency. Moreover, it has taught me the fundamentals of humanity, those that transcend every arbitrary country line.”
