Born out of the college’s strategic plan, the KD Cup (short for Key Direction Cup) was created to encourage camaraderie and team building through friendly competition and play. It is a major initiative of Key Direction 3, which is to improve Lewis and Clark’s internal and external stakeholder engagement.
Though we’re all TraiIblazers, we also belong to a “house” – students, faculty & staff. Each house (yep, just like Hogwarts) will compete in a variety of contests to earn points throughout the academic year.
Individuals can earn points for their house by participating in contests or attending contest events. The house with the most points at the end of the year will be awarded the KD Cup at the State of Trailblazer Nation in May.
