Books for Black History Month

A new exhibit running from April-December 2025 explores the remarkable history of Lewis & Clark College’s longest-running student-organized academic event: the International Affairs Symposium. 

Watzek Library will continue to provide extensive access to the Lewis & Clark community, remaining open until midnight on weeknights and offering 24-hour access during reading days and finals week.

During the 1970s and 1980s, many enclaves formed in rural locations across the United States, providing a place for women to live, gather, and share in predominantly lesbian communities.  Several of these collectives published magazines, showcasing the ideals and experiences of the women both inside and outside of these communities, and how the potential of a lesbian utopia affected their lives.

Drawn from these materials, this Special Collections and Archives exhibit is curated by L&C students Grace Hart ’26, Millie King ’25, and Eliza Roberts ’25. On display on the top floor of Watzek Library through the end of the spring semester.

Lewis & Clark’s annual Moss Appreciation Week recently garnered national media attention on NPR’s Morning Edition. Moss Week combines scientific exploration with creative, playful events, celebrating the everyday wonders of moss.
