Board

History and Goals:

The Third Culture Kid Board was first created in Fall of 2001. The Board meets every other Thursday and members serve as advisors and brainstormers to the TCK Intern. The TCK Board’s main goal is to create and promote events catered towards supporting the Lewis & Clark College TCK community.

How to Get Involved:

If you are interested in being a member, please contact our TCK Intern, Savannah Bishop, at tck@lclark.edu , Instagram @lc_tck, or visit the International Students and Scholars Office located on the 3rd floor of the Fowler Student Center.
