Welcome to Exploration and Discovery

Read Becko Copenhaver’s  Welcome Letter to New Students (pdf) which announces the Exploration and Discovery Kick-off event that takes place during New Student Orientation (NSO).

This year’s kick-off event – things. – takes place on Friday, August 26 in Agnes Flanagan Chapel at 1:30pm. Attended by all E&D students and faculty, this plenary event features a panel of Lewis & Clark faculty from different disciplines: Dawn Odell, Assistant Professor of Art History, chosen by last year’s students as Teacher of the Year; Cliff Bekar, Associate Professor of Economics; and Jay Odenbaugh, Associate Professor of Philosophy.

In the following three videos, Becko Copenhaver introduces Exploration and Discovery—better known as E&D— the course where you can immerse yourself in an array of the great texts (Freud, Plato, the Bible, and Virgil); improve your writing, reading, and speaking skills; and discover what the liberal arts are really all about.
