Spring 2009 Lunch Hosts

Melissa Sweet '12

Although Melissa doesn't know what she'll major in yet, it will probably be within the social sciences. She's a freshman from Tigard, OR who is interested in technical theatre and works for the Lewis & Clark Theatre's Shop crew. She plays the piano, goes camping, kayaks, and likes to bike around Portland. Her advice to you: "Be open minded in your search and pay close attention to the community of the college. Remember, you’re going to be living in that town for 4 years. Follow the little voice in your head, even if it doesn’t make sense financially or otherwise."

Kim Vanderklein '12

Kim is an undeclared freshman from Montclair, NJ. His declaration as a biology is pending, which may not come as any surprise for he is an outdoors man. He enjoys cross-country skiing in the snowy season and hiking in the summer. Kim is a member of the juggling club and plays on the Ultimate Frisbee club team on campus. He would recommend for prospective students to "make an educated decision about where to go by visiting the campus to get a feel for the day to day life, among other things like the diversity of classes and the up-to-date facilities for each major."

Kelly Cazinha '11

Kelly is a Theatre major from Kaneohe/Mililani, HI. She likes to play videogames, surf the internet, hang out with friends, read, write and sketch, build things and get to know new people. She's part of the Womyn's Center, United Sexualities, the Fireknifing Club, the Gaming Society, and Hawai'i Club. Her favorite thing about Lewis & Clark is that "there is always something to do. From listening to nationally renowned speakers, learning to juggle, or having a night of pillow fights, there is always something interesting going on."

Alison Dubchansky '12

Alison is an undecided freshman from Los Angeles, CA. She is an advocate of looking at all the factors when doing a college search. "Really consider the size of the school, location, on and off campus opportunities, and programs." Lewis & Clark College fits her interests well. She is able to take part in volunteering and tutoring at Roosevelt High School, bake in the student group, Students United for Real Food, and snowboard. "I love to be involved in all areas--volunteering, leadership, student led clubs--and there are so many great choice for everyone if you take advantage of it!"

Catie Hausman '11

Catie is a Psychology and Pre-med major and a Chemistry minor from Santa Cruz, CA. She is interested in kayaking, traveling, creative writing, and playing soccer, in addition to volunteering at health clinics and hospitals and being a tutor at the local Roosevelt High School. She is a chemistry lab prep worker and a LINCS (Lewis & Clark Intercultural Network for Connecting Students) mentor. The professors are one of her favorite things about Lewis & Clark. "They’re kind and approachable…Oftentimes a professor appears reserved in class, and then later one-on-one, they’re completely fun to relate to and share ideas with." Her advice: "Spend time on campuses to get a sense for what the students are like. Of course, take advantage of the lunch-with-a-student option too!"

Yollie Keeton '10

Yollie is a Psychology major, Math minor from Poulsbo, Washington. She’s interested in education, developing diversity, listening to music, baking, and watching movies. She is quite the busy body, tutoring at Roosevelt High School and working in the Admissions Office, while being involved with LINCS (Lewis & Clark Intercultural Network for Connecting Students), the Black Student Union, our student government ASLC (Associated Students of Lewis & Clark), and the Ray Warren Multicultural Symposium. Her favorite thing about Lewis & Clark is the people: "students, staff and faculty. I love that I can go and talk to my professors and advisors and that they’re able to advise and support me!"
