Lewis & Clark -- Letter of Application Thank you in advance for your consideration of my application for admission to Lewis & Clark. I am certain that as a student at Lewis & Clark I will grow in intellectual stature, that my studies and activities will lead me to a level of scholarship and academic excellence that will open the door to an exciting and stimulating future.

Having carefully researched the opportunities that Lewis & Clark present to students, I believe my experiences have prepared me well, and I am anxious to be accepted, to enroll, and to become a productive, valuable member of the campus community.

The Pacific Northwest is a stunningly beautiful and ecologically diverse area of the United States, and looking through the information about the College Outdoors at Lewis & Clark, I am excited at the possibility of becoming involved in this aspect of the college. In addition to the experiences that will be available in the mountains, the coastal stretches of Oregon, the rivers and the desert, I am attracted to the idea of gaining "practical experience...

I placed first in our school's "Environmental Management" speech contest; I served as the school's "Environmental Protection Ambassador"; I was a participant in my community's "Municipal Environmental Protection Symposium"; I established my school's Photography Club and provided leadership for the "Provincial Photography Activity -- Impression of Mudanjiang" in China.
Lewis & Clark will be for me a place to grow in my musical career. The Lewis & Clark Electric Music Studio will be an appropriate venue for me become more proficient at my piano playing.

Also in China, I worked many hours with other volunteers to help survivors of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, a temblor that killed almost 70,000 people, injured 374,170 -- and over 18,000 were officially listed as missing in that disaster. My work in helping with that natural disaster was honored when I was given the title "Outstanding Student Representative of Volunteers" in the Wenchuan Distress area. I am very proud of my participation in that horrific human tragedy, and also I have helped the Heilongjiang Red Cross in providing warm clothing, blankets and food to impoverished people in the remote mountainous areas of China.

I mention these activities not just to bring attention to my humanitarian involvement and to my altruism, but also to indicate that I am prepared and ready to becoming involved in any Lewis & Clark community support project. One of the many impressive aspects of this college is its leadership vis-a-vis the Peace Corp, which reflects very positively on Lewis & Clark.

Again I thank you for this opportunity to apply for admission to Lewis & Clark, and I look forward to hearing from you. If I am accepted as a student, I will work hard to make a great contribution to the campus and the community, in addition to availing myself of the myriad scholarly opportunities presented.
