Departmental Student Publications
Since 1942, individual departments at Lewis & Clark College have sponsored lit reviews and other publications featuring student writings, all funded by the Student Media Budget.

Previously called The Lewis & Clark College Literature Review, the English department's publication of sstudnets' poetry, prose, and visual art has been distrubting issues since 1974. Vern Rutsala, Dorothy Berkson, and Mary Szybist are among the list of previous staff advisors.
The Meridian (International Affairs)
The International Affairs department began publishing student research and essays in 1983 (?). The aim of the journal is to publish a wide array of voices in order to represent a vast interdisiplinary focus.
Pause. (Theater)
The plays written by students began to be published by Pause. in the 1996-1997 school year (?), sponsored by the Theatre department.
Synergia (Gender Studies)
The Journal of Gender Thought and Expression printed its first publication in the Spring of 1991, and their release was in collaboration with the ninth annual Gender Studies Symposium hosted on campus. The magazine published students' essays, poetry, prose, and visual art during its inital 29-issue run until 2019, and was restarted again by students in the 2023-2024 school year. A comprehensive collection of every issue of Synergia can be accessed here.
Polyglot (Foreign Languages)
The Journal of Foreign Langauges began publishing student poetry and prose in various langauges spoken on campus in order to celebrate the diversity of cultural heritages that are represented in the student body. Though it's not meant to be entirely comprehensible to any one individiaul, the editors of the 1990 edition expressed a wish that it'd "serve a dual purpse of entertaining and invoking interest in the study of foreign languages and cultures."
Living Mosaic (Environmental Studies)
The Living Mosaic was started in the Spring of 2000 and functioned as the Environmental Studies department's magazine of current events and regional information until its final issue in 2013. The first issue includes student perspectives, ways to explore the variety of nature in Oregon, and an interview with a professor that worked in the department. More recent issues focus on publishing creative works by students, such as nature photography and poetry and prose with environmental themes.
