Lewis & Clark launched the Year of Study in Munich at the Ludwig- Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in 1972. The program was one of the first full-year programs of its kind in the Pacific Northwest. Participants take a deep dive into German language and culture while pursuing a wide range of courses offered by Lewis & Clark and LMU. Each year, 15 to 20 students from Lewis & Clark College, Reed College, the University of Puget Sound, and other American institutions participate in the program.
Special thanks to volunteers Carla Hernandez BA ’79, G’Ann Stratil BA ’74, and Peg DeRose-Schäfer BA ’81 for creating a memorable weekend!
