Matt Wuerker ’79 has won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in recognition of “his consistently fresh, funny cartoons, especially memorable for lampooning the partisan conflict that engulfed Washington.” A cartoonist and illustrator for Politico, Wuerker has published in newspapers across the country.

At Lewis & Clark it’s not uncommon to hear the term “TCK.” It stands for Third Culture Kids, sometimes called global nomads, and describes students who have grown up in two or more countries, usually because of a parent’s work. Learn more about the unique perspective these students bring to campus.

Thanks to parent donors, each year Lewis & Clark students get more out of their education--more time with our outstanding faculty, more research opportunities, and more eye-opening overseas experiences. Parent giving has already increased by 19% this year, and it isn't too late to participate. Please consider a gift to the Annual Fund by May 31.
