History of the Graduate School

Although Lewis & Clark College has trained teachers since its earliest days, the Graduate School of Education and Counseling in its present form dates from 1984. That year, graduate programs were consolidated into a single administrative unit and faculty collaborated on a unified vision for educating students and joining together as a community of scholars and learners. Through this vision, the Graduate School of Education and Counseling has supported the mission of Lewis & Clark College by training thoughtful leaders, innovative decision makers, and agents of positive change in the fields of education and counseling: leaders who actively engage with the communities they serve.

The establishment of Rogers Hall supports the Graduate School of Education and Counseling's transformational vision and fulfills a need inherent to graduate study: community. Under the roof of a single building, Lewis & Clark graduate faculty and students are able to come together through dialogue, reflection, and collaboration, producing innovative leaders prepared to make significant contributions in the fields of education and counseling.
