Lewis & Clark’s overseas programs have always been about more than just travel—they are about becoming a global citizen. During our recent Days of Giving, the L&C community stepped up to ensure these life-changing experiences remain accessible to all students. We are proud to announce that we raised $13,735, including a generous $5,000 challenge match from Christy Lang ’83. These funds go directly toward removing financial barriers, allowing our students to take their education from Palatine Hill to the far corners of the globe.
Unlike standard study abroad packages at other institutions, L&C’s overseas and off-campus programs offer immersive experiences in unexpected places. Whether for a semester or a full academic year, our own faculty design the available programs and often personally lead the cohorts, ensuring that L&C’s trademark academic rigor travels with our students.
“Studying at Waseda University wasn’t just about the classes; it was about the messy, beautiful realities of the world… Tokyo shaped me just as Lewis & Clark has. It taught me to embrace complexity and to see beauty in the unexpected.” – Tanner Lee ’27
Even with tuition parity, costs like airfare, visas, and local living expenses can be a financial hurdle. Scholarships funded by Days of Giving close that gap, ensuring that financial constraints never stand in the way of personal transformation. This is especially vital for students who are the first in their families to navigate a global education.
“I am the first in my family to study abroad, so this opportunity means the world to not just me, but my family as well. Thank you so much for aiding me and my ambitions.” – Rya Cordeiro ’27
To everyone who gave: Thank you. You aren’t just funding a trip; you are fulfilling an institutional promise and helping our students meet the world head-on.
