The NYC Study Abroad program led by theatre professor Rebecca Lingafelter is featured in the Lewis and Clark magazine.

Lewis & Clark’s NYC program is facilitated by the Office of Overseas and Off Campus Programs. While the program has run for decades, Lingafelter was tasked with the unique opportunity of revitalizing it post-pandemic. The program is currently slated to run every three years, and the opportunities it provides are rapidly evolving.

“Rebuilding the program after the pandemic was an opportunity to be really intentional,” says Lingafelter. “We asked what students need right now—not just academically, but professionally—and how New York City can support both of those goals in a meaningful way.”

Students ended up in internships with a variety of organizations, including Abrams Books, Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, LaMama Experimental Theatre Club, and the Bushwick Starr Theatre. Lingafelter plans to maintain and build such relationships for future cohorts.

As per tradition, Lewis & Clark's Natural History Club is gearing up for Moss Week 2026, which will take place the week of February 9 - 13! We are looking for your help setting the mossy mood on campus.

Once again, we are on the search for talented artists and poets to help create a design for our Moss Week stickers or poems about moss, which will be printed as bookmarks. Both will be given out during Moss Week at Watzek, and might even be featured in the admitted students’ welcome package! We are also offering a grand prize of $100. Please email us your submissions at [email protected] with the subject line “Sticker/Poem submission” (open to current LC students and alumni). The deadline for submission will be January 31st. We can’t wait to see what you’ve got!

We present to you : Transgressors, an exhibition presenting now and future Indigiq***r ancestors who move beyond boundaries in life and art. There are lots of reasons for you, your classes, and the community to visit this exhibition. Come make use of the big reading/feedback table in the back that is set up to comfortably seat a group of 20. Meet for a class this semester in the Hoffman! The exhibition opened today (Thursday January 22nd). Gallery hours are Tuesdays-Sundays 11am-4pm. If you would like access to the gallery for your class outside those hours, just reach out.

We are deeply honored to be hosting this show. Transgressors is an Indigiq***r exhibition curated by the amazing Felix Furby and Anthony Hudson (Lewis & Clark’s 2024-25 Native Artist-Scholar in Residence). It was first mounted in late 2024 at the Chachalu Museum. The exhibition celebrates past, present, and future Indigenous Two-Spirit and q***r identities through art, honoring ancestors like Shimkhin and contemporary artists alike, moving conversations about q***rness to the forefront and challenging the idea of art as static artifacts. The exhibition features works from a.c. ramírez de arellaño, Evan Benally Atwood, Geo Soctomah Neptune, Lehuauakea, Qahir-beejee Peco, Roin Morigeau, Steph Littlebird, Walter Scott and Jeffrey Gibson (the artist who represented the US in 2024 at the Venice Biennale).

Artist Steph Littlebird is helping with programming with the exhibition (thank you to the Ford Family Foundation for helping make this possible).
Please join us for the following events and spread the word (the Hoffman website will get updated accordingly - I just wanted to get this out right away for syllabus planning and the likes):

Thursday, January 29th, 5pm - An opening walkthrough and conversation with the exhibition curators, Felix Furby and Anthony Hudson.

Monday, February 23rd, 5pm - An evening of storytelling with the legendary Marta Lu Clifford.

An event with Luhui Whitebear, Lewis & Clark’s 2025-26 Native Artist-Scholar in Residence (details forthcoming)

Friday, March 13th, 5-6:30pm - A closing reception event in collaboration with the Gender Studies Symposium
