Greetings, L&C Students!
Last week, we supported the 12th Annual Third Culture Kid (TCK) Symposium organized by the TCK Club of Lewis & Clark. All of this week and culminating on Saturday, March 2nd is the 59th Annual International Fair hosted by the International Students of Lewis & Clark (ISLC). Come & enjoy some Beng Beng Chocolate from Indonesia, learn how to play Bagh Chal from Nepal, hear poetry from Hungary, and check out some Bollywood dancing at Smith Hall! We’ll have some great raffle prizes to win as well. Click here to view the full International Fair schedule.
These events are great ways to start getting to know some of the 151 international students and 126 TCKs enrolled at L&C this spring. Our ISS team strives to make our campus a home-away-from-home for these students in many ways, and you can help with that everyday in your classes, clubs, teams, and residence halls. Be curious and don’t feel shy about joining in!
Take care and all for now,
