Many things have happened over the last couple of weeks so I wanted to share with you a brief description for each of my favorite spring semester events.
Spring Semester Events:
Job Fair
L&C has
an annual job fair. They have employers
for both summer jobs as well as careers for after you graduate. Every employer there will take any Lewis
& Clark major which is useful because it means you can talk with anyone
there and possibly get a job, but it also means that if you are looking for a
job in a specific field you are unlikely to find it. Even if you are looking for a specific job
though, I would recommend going. L&C
has lots of prep sessions before the job fair and it is a great way to practice
before you go to other fairs for the kind of job you want. I can be a rather nervous person and prep
sessions and practice at the L&C job fair helped me a lot.
Luau
Every year
Hawaii club hosts a luau in the gym. It’s
a really huge event. It's so big they
move dinner down there instead of having it in the dining hall. The whole
gym is filled with tables and activities. After dinner is over they have
a show with lots and lots of dances (fire arts is one of them).
Festival of Scholars and Artists
FOSA is an
event where all the students who have done their own research/project can show
off what they have been doing. There are tons of panels where students
present research, but if you don't want to do a full presentation you can also
be part of one of the poster sessions. It's on a Friday and all classes
are canceled so you can attend.
Spring Carnival
The Spring
Carnival happens the weekend before reading days (finals study days). It
is basically a mini fair; there are rides, free food, and a petting zoo. It is a really nice break for right when
studying is picking up in earnest.
Have any
questions about life at Lewis & Clark?
