News and Events

During your time at Lewis & Clark, you are bound to come across a career that makes you think, “I could do that!” 

At the Career Center on the Undergraduate Lewis & Clark College campus, we focus on helping students find jobs and internships on and off campus. In addition we hold one on one Drop-In hours led by Peer Career Advisors. Part of our goal is to find the best fit for our students and the program, internship, or job they will participate in for weeks, months, and years to come.

It’s no secret that being an RA has a lot of perks: the single room, room and board, and a stipend for returning RA’s. It’s an attractive position with a lot of responsibility to manage conflict and build bonds within your residence. Once you have examined the requirements and responsibilities of an RA at LC and decided you want to take up that responsibility, you might find yourself wondering where to even begin the application process. Well, you’re in luck because in this article we are going to tell you how to do just that (according to 2022 RA application information). We will also hear from an interview from the 2022 Selection Committee made of Area Directors Juliane Corpus (she/her); Julia Pacheco-Cole (she/her); and Adam Hintze (he/him).

The Career Center is excited to share Miguel Rodriguez’s story revolving around work, academics, and personal growth. We wanted to give you the opportunity to hear from someone in the latinx community who is working and attending school, like many of you. We hope his words will inspire you to speak out, actively work, seek out and stride for your independence through goals you set for yourself.

If you have just come back from abroad, congratulations you made it!

The Career Center excels at connecting students with resources for life after L&C, and their recent collaboration with Savviest is no exception. The online job search platform, created by Devin Owen BA ’14, helps people manage their job search using coaching, community, and AI technology. Students will be given complimentary access to the platform for six months this fall. We asked Devin a few questions about his company, why it will be helpful to students, and how L&C prepared him for his career.

Emily Hayes-Rich BA ’19, Stephen Holden Jones BA ’18, and David Manicke BA ’21 have recently been awarded Fulbright research grants, while last year’s winners, Noah Foster-Koth BA ’19 and Cole Harris BA ’20, are now hoping to begin their postponed fellowships. The Fulbright Program was particularly competitive this year, with applications up 12 percent.
