Supplemental essays

Answer 1 of 2 — max 300 words each.

  1. Most colleges have mottos—a word or phrase that expresses the ideals that guide their actions. Lewis & Clark’s motto is Explorare, Discere, Sociare—to explore, to learn, to work together. Tell us about your personal motto and how it guides you (Latin not required).
  2. At Lewis & Clark, we strive to be an inclusive community in which students benefit from exchanging ideas with people whose perspectives may differ from their own. Reflect on a time when you engaged with someone whose background or life experiences are different from yours and share with us what you learned from that experience.
