Lewis & Clark College

McLean, Marilyn (1974)

Marilyn McLean choose Lewis & Clark for its reputable international programs, outstanding music department, and quaint campus. Marilyn is originally from the Seattle area and lives there currently. Formerly a music major before switching to history, Marilyn remarked that one of her favorite classes was the Hitler seminar that she took her senior year. Working three jobs to support herself throughout college, Marilyn still found time to participate in extracurriculars. As a residential advisor, a member of the school choir, and the chief justice of the judiciary board, Marilyn kept herself very busy over the course of her time spent at Lewis & Clark. Marilyn studied abroad in what was formerly known as Yugoslavia in 1973. Marily firmly believes that Lewis & Clark's desire to expose its students to international cultures distinguishes it from other colleges. She went on to work as a lawyer after going to school later in life. Although it did not directly affect her career path, history helped Marilyn with the rest of her life by connecting her to other cultures and giving her the tools necessary to travel abroad as well as excellent research skills. Marilyn is still active in the alumni community to this day.
