The Festival of Scholars and Artists is a beloved annual Lewis & Clark tradition, where our community dedicates a full day to celebrate our students and their exceptional work: their research, their creative accomplishments, and their achievements both on and off campus. The campus buzzes with activity as the entire community gathers to listen to students present their research projects, attend poster sessions, view live music and theatre performances, and much more.

Please join us for an evening with United States Ambassador Carmen Cantor, Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Insular and International Affairs. Come hear about her career and the important work she does today for the Department of the Interior.  

All are invited to this public lecture in which Dr. Margaret Metz will discuss her forest ecology research and the importance of undergraduate collaboration in her work. Dr. Metz is an associate professor in the department of biology at Lewis & Clark College, which she joined in 2014. This event and the reception to follow celebrate her 2022 receipt of the Lynwood W. Swanson Promise for Scientific Research Award from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust.

This daylong celebration of scholarship at Lewis & Clark will include performances of original compositions and plays, an exhibition of original art, research presentations in a variety of fields, a film festival, and more.
