The Song Lore Challenge

The Song Lore of Albany, published in 1930 by alumnus Victor Arundel, issues this challenge: “Let future classes add to the trove by original genius and research. Compose new songs.” In anticipation of our 150th anniversary celebration in 2017–18, we ask you to rise to Victor’s challenge and help us to create a new college song. We hope you will participate!

College Welcomes New Board of Alumni Members

On June 30, we bid farewell to Carol Timm BA ’87 and Annette Klinefelter BA ’96, MEd ’10 as they cycled off the Board of Alumni.

At its fall meeting on October 30, the board will welcome three new members: Koko Hunt BA ’99, Stacey Caldwell-Roberts BA ’89, and Chris Ohman BS ’77. Read more about the board.

Young Alumni Publish Research on Campaign Finance Enforcement

For political science majors Maya Gold BA ’14 and Walker Davis BA ’15—as for many graduates—student-faculty collaboration was a hallmark of their Lewis & Clark education. Maya’s and Walker’s undergraduate experience led to continued research on campaign finance enforcement, and now they are published researchers. Read about their journey.

Summer Internships Yield Valuable Experiences

Through generous funding from the Stephanie Fowler and Irving Levin Summer Internship Award and the Miller Internship Award, our students and young alumni are able to make connections, explore career paths, and conduct research during the summer break. Twenty-six Pios took advantage of this opportunity this past summer. Read about some of their experiences.
