Eli Bricknell BA ’23More about EliI am a cochair for this year’s Gender Studies Symposium. I had only attended the events before, so this is my first year in a leadership role. I am really thankful we have so many amazing symposia at L&C!
Sofia Reeves BA ’23More about SofiaI think every student at Lewis & Clark can get something special from one of the student-led symposia, either by attending or being a part of organizing the event. There is knowledge to be gained for every person who attends the symposium.
Julia Salomone BA ’23More about JuliaI am currently the cochair of the Gender Studies Symposium. Chairing the symposium while simultaneously writing my thesis on reproductive health has empowered me to look beyond the classroom and explore my interests further.

L&C’s five academic student-led symposia reflect our commitment to inquiry, innovation, collaboration, and global engagement.
