Katie Keith, a mathematics major and a Chinese minor, received this spring’s Rena J. Ratte Award, the undergraduate college’shighest honor. A native of Bozeman, Montana, Keith embodies the award’s criteria of “a graduating senior who has pursued and achieved the utmost in excellence while attending Lewis & Clark.”

“I believe there’s not a college in America that is more appropriately named for all the searches that we prize, that we love. You’re here, at Lewis & Clark, arguably, the quintessence of what works in American education … small liberal arts colleges. You all chose right!”

—Ron Suskind
