Help Watzek welcome the Class of 2029
We need your words, illustrations, or some combination thereof to take material form as our 2025 Welcome Banners. What would you want to share with someone new to LC and making their way? Or what do you wish someone had said (or drawn) for you in your first days and weeks?
Banner dimensions are 16 x 76 inches. Send your design to librarian@lclark.edu by June 16th! The selected entry will receive $200 and your design will become part of our campus community this fall.
Entries welcome from all students, including graduating seniors.

Exhibit: Do You Subscribe to the Impossible? Portland’s Imps 1975-1985
The Impossibilists—or Imps—were a group of artists, writers, and performers living in Portland and cohering around an artistic commitment to the new, the experimental, the bold, and, fittingly, the impish. This exhibit includes material from the Impossibilists and others that document the literary scene in Portland from the mid 1970s through the 1980s.
On display in Watzek Library beginning March 15, 2026.
