The Bark Fall 2024 Survey

Guest Columnist: Emmanuel Macías

Greetings L&C Students!


One of my favorite times of the year is the fall; I enjoy the change of season, the crisp air, the beautiful colors of the leaves, and the transition to the winter. It’s a time that I like to reflect on both the past and upcoming year. As the fall semester comes to an end in a few weeks, I wish you all a strong finish and well earned winter break.


But before that winter break…we want YOUR feedback about The Bark! Your feedback is valuable for The Bark's editorial team to continue to provide you with all the important information, updates, and events from the Division of Student Life and campus partners. Please consider completing The Bark Fall 2024 survey. At the end of the survey, you can enter a raffle to win one of three $20 Lewis & Clark College Bookstore gift cards. The survey closes on December 6th, noon PST.

Warmly,

Emmanuel Macías,

Executive Assistant and Special Projects Administrator
