L&C Bridge Series
Lewis & Clark’s robust network of alumni and industry partners means you will have access to the connections needed to explore your pathways and build the skills needed for a post-graduate life of purpose.
Lewis & Clark alumni work across industries and around the globe—in business, law, education, health care, environmental science, the arts, technology, public service, and more. What connects them isn’t just where they work, but how they show up: eager to share advice, make introductions, and help students translate a liberal arts and sciences education into meaningful careers. By uniting the Lewis & Clark alumni network with employers and organizations in Portland and beyond, L&C Bridge transforms our community into an active professional ecosystem where relationships are built through conversation and hands-on connections.
L&C Bridge is Lewis & Clark’s signature series of events designed to bring students, alumni, and industry partners together to open doors to careers, mentorship, and lifelong relationships.
Event experiences may include:
- Industry panels and employer spotlights
- Small-group conversations with alumni and professionals
- Networking events
- Virtual and in-person sessions
