The Meridian Journal

We believe that student discourse outside the classroom enhances education and builds much-needed community. To date, the journal has included essays, research papers, journal excerpts and photographs, all of which are contributed by students.

The Meridian is the oldest publication at Lewis & Clark College and is entirely student-run. The editorial board of the Meridian consists of students and operates autonomously of the faculty, administration and staff of the college. The Journal is a separate entity from the annual International Affairs Symposium but is distributed around campus in conjunction with the event in late April.
