A Celebration of Scholarship and Creativity

On April 12, the Lewis & Clark community took a break from classes to enjoy the Festival of Scholars and Artists, an annual event that celebrates the scholarship and creativity of our undergraduate students.

The Festival of Scholars and Artists is an annual Lewis & Clark tradition, where our community dedicates a full day (without classes!) to celebrate our students and their exceptional work. The campus buzzes with activity as the entire community gathers to listen to students present their research projects, attend poster sessions, view live music and theatre performances, and much more. This year’s event was held on April 12.
