A Campus Celebration: Join Us for the 2026 Festival of Scholars and Artists

Please mark your calendars for Friday, April 10, 2026, as Lewis & Clark College hosts the annual Festival of Scholars and Artists (FOSA). This cherished tradition dedicates a full day to celebrating the exceptional work of our students, showcasing their research, creative accomplishments, and achievements. The campus will be abuzz with activity as the community gathers to attend research presentations, poster sessions, live music, theater performances, and more. All regularly scheduled courses are canceled for the day and replaced by FOSA programming.
