Visiting Lewis & Clark is the best way to get to know us. Our three campuses—undergraduate, graduate, and law—are nestled in a forest just six miles from downtown Portland, and we have a free shuttle that will take you there.

Take a Campus Tour
Our undergraduate campus spans a ravine and is surrounded by trees, giving you ample space to explore and connect with nature. Our law school is located next door to Tryon Creek State Park, which is where you’ll find members of our community hiking the 13 miles of stunning nature trails. And our graduate school has an expansive green lawn that serves as a backyard, commonly listed as our students’ favorite place on campus. It’s also where our bee garden is housed!

Cheer on Your Peers

Explore Portland
Lewis & Clark is located in the lush hills of South Portland, the city’s “sixth quadrant.” But our beautiful campuses aren’t the entire story—our location offers something that most other schools do not: an ideal setting in a vibrant, progressive city with endless networking, entertainment, and cultural resources.
Getting Outdoors
The benefits and beauty of the Pacific Northwest are right outside our door. This area contains some of the most spectacular and well-maintained scenic areas in the United States.
Good Eats
Portland is nationally renowned for its food scene, which includes options for almost every food preference and dietary need. We were even given the title of best pizza in the country from Modernist Pizza!
Things to Do
It’s impossible to provide an exhaustive list of things to do and see in a city as vibrant and diverse as Portland. We can promise you this, though: you won’t lack for great opportunities to have fun.
When not focusing on my studies—I was running around Portland going to concerts, spending all my extra cash at Powell’s, and going to my wonderful friends’ art shows, performances, etc.
The Pio is our free shuttle bus that goes from campus to several points throughout the city, keeping us connected to the greater Portland community.
Getting to go to art openings at alternative spaces and galleries around town was always fun—Portland has such an amazing ecology of project spaces and temporary galleries that come and go.

2025 Gender Studies Symposium Art Show
One important part of the symposium is an art exhibit of work from community members from Lewis & Clark and beyond. The 44th Annual Gender Studies Symposium, “[No] Hard Feelings,” investigates how we are moved by emotions in relation to gender and sexuality, and the art exhibit explores similar themes.
This year’s exhibit includes a physical gallery in the Watzek Library atrium and an online gallery.
Curated by L&C students Mayah Brasse ’26, Ren Crenshaw ’28, and Rebeka Kerek ’27.
