International and TCK Student Orientation: Monday, August 22-24  

 Before arriving in Portland to begin your studies at Lewis & Clark, you are sure to have questions and concerns about a wide variety of topics. These will range from the curriculum and advising process, to issues of school policy, to your health and well-being, and even to simple questions about mailboxes, school address and so on. This orientation is specific to International and TCK students, designed to answer some of your questions well before the start of classes and even general student body New Student Orientation (NSO). Naturally, there will be questions not addressed here and you should feel free to call, write or email if you need additional information. Also, if you have suggestions for topics that need to be addressed, please let us know.
