Enjoy Summer in Portland 

Alumni Weekend is just around the corner, and you won’t want to miss Lewis & Clark’s biggest alumni event of the year! Hundreds of your classmates are already registered, and it’s not too late to join them. Even if you’re not celebrating a reunion, come to campus for the events open to all classes, including Alumni College, the Northwest Salmon Bake and BBQ, live bands, karaoke, tours, and more. To register—and to view the list of alumni who have already signed up—visit the website below.
