He broke down the distinction between that “Big T” Truth and “small t” truth, which is more situational and tied to kairos, the idea of the appropriate moment. That framework has stuck with me, as it’s a great reminder that context and timing are just as important as the truth itself.

Study Abroad With Lewis & Clark

Lewis & Clark study abroad programs are immersive experiences in unexpected places, often with one of your own faculty members as your leader. Our programs are either a semester or full year long, giving you time to live new experiences and perspectives rather than simply to observe them. No matter your major—even the sciences—you will be encouraged to study overseas.

Students on a bridge surrounded by green trees. Our biology program in New Zealand is a great way for science majors to study overseas and earn classes toward their major.
