Please read Paul Powers’  Welcome Letter to New Students (pdf)

This year’s E&D kickoff event–Do the Guns of August Still Echo? Reflections on the Outbreak of World War I, One Hundred Years Later–will take place on Friday, August 29th, in Agnes Flanagan Chapel at 1:30pm. Attended by all E&D students and faculty, this plenary event features a panel of Lewis & Clark faculty from different disciplines:

• David Campion, Robert B Pamplin, Jr Associate Professor of History;
• Maureen Healy, Associate Professor of History; and
• Dawn Odell, Associate Professor of Art History.

In the following video, Paul Powers introduces Exploration and Discovery—better known as E&D— the course where you can immerse yourself in an array of the great texts (Freud, Plato, and the Bible); improve your writing, reading, and speaking skills; and discover what the liberal arts are really all about.
