Lewis & Clark’s Prescription for COVID-19
For Lewis & Clark, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic began in earnest in March 2020, when the college moved exclusively to online learning on all three of its campuses. Now, more than a year into the global crisis, Lewis & Clark continues to make adjustments, fine-tuning its curricular and cocurricular offerings to ensure that students still experience the best of an L&C education.
