Symposia
One special feature of the Lewis & Clark experience is our unique series of student-driven symposia. Each symposium is a two- or three-day series of presentations, workshops, readings, performances, debates, and other opportunities to engage creatively and intellectually with complex local, national, and global issues.
Supported and mentored by faculty every step of the way, students build community and practical skills as they collaborate on symposium themes, topics, and programming.
A key space for learning beyond the classroom, symposia sometimes even generate ideas for projects and launch careers. At their core, these symposia reflect the Lewis & Clark commitment to inquiry, innovation, collaboration, and global engagement.

I am one of the cochairs of the MENA Symposium. It has led me to think critically about how to study a region and listen to its voices, while recognizing my position as a white American in discussions.

I was an organizer for one of the annual Environment Across Boundaries ENVX Symposium. It was interesting to work with everyone. I’d never done planning for this type of event before.

I’ve been a Race Monologues presenter twice, which is the concluding event of the annual Ray Warren Symposium on Race and Ethnic Studies. It has been a nerve-wracking but rewarding experience both times.
