When I visited, I felt a sense of community that no other college had. During my summer campus tour with Coach Foreman, I met approximately 27 new people. The friendliness and warmth of each individual really won me over.
Aurora Bailey ’16

I wanted a small school with great academics where I could still run competitively. It’s nice to know that my entire team, as well as other athletes here, balance sports and schoolwork.
Casey Zinn ’15
Hometown: Chino, California
Major: Psychology
On my recruiting visit I felt really comfortable. I liked that it was a small school that was still passionate about sports. I liked the small class sizes, and that campus wasn’t all spread out. I got to meet all the coaches and players on the basketball team and really felt I would fit in with them.

I liked that Lewis & Clark had a strong psychology program and a great set of professors. Once I visited, I was sold! Everyone was so friendly and it seemed like a place I would enjoy and fit into well.
