We are working to make the concept of healthy democratic dialogue a part of Lewis & Clark’s identity as an institution and the foundation for the way we relate to each other. Engaging in constructive dialogue with people who hold different viewpoints is a skill that is increasingly in short supply, and one that both our students and our world desperately need. Learning and caring – that’s the heart of who we are and what we do, and how we want our L&C graduates to be in the world.

Activation Plan
- The Lewis & Clark’s Community Dialogues program is an ongoing initiative focused on building our collective capacity to have constructive discussions. Led by trained facilitators who are students, faculty, and staff from across the undergraduate college, law school, and graduate school, Community Dialogue sessions are open to all L&C community members.
- In response to increasing national divisiveness and in anticipation of upcoming elections, in the coming academic year, Lewis & Clark is creating and aligning for-credit and extracurricular opportunities for students to gain the skills and knowledge to bring about positive change in the world. These include courses, reading groups, workshops, trainings, campus activism fairs, voter registration and voter engagement programs, and partnerships with community organizations.
