What’s your favorite class? How has it expanded your knowledge?

My favorite class is Think Like Ant: An Introduction to Complex Systems. It has helped me understand how a group of organisms execute collective behaviors without a leader to guide them.

What made you want to come to Lewis & Clark?

I chose Lewis & Clark College because it checked all of my boxes. Lewis & Clark has a swim team, an art community, and a highly ranked psychology program. It also has a beautiful campus, which made it stand out compared to other private universities in Oregon.

How did your financial aid package influence your decision to attend Lewis & Clark?

The financial aid package I received greatly influenced my decision to go to Lewis & Clark. Without it, I wouldn’t have the opportunities I have today.
