For Parents and Families

To our L&C parents, family, and friends: It is our mission to introduce you to the college, familiarize you with student services, and give you an inside look at the student experience.

Get ready to cheer on your student as they begin their exciting journey at Lewis & Clark! New Student Orientation is a whirlwind of activity for new students, filled with opportunities to connect with peers, explore campus, and get prepared for a thriving academic year.

But you don’t have to miss out on the fun! First-Year Experience and Alumni and Parent Engagement are excited to welcome parents and family to campus for Parents and Family Preview! Parents, family, and friends are welcome to take campus tours, eat in the dining hall, assist their student with move-in, and participate in special programming during NSO. View the 2025 schedule below.
