Dear Fellow Pios,

Hello! My name is Mikah Bertelmann and I’m the ASLC Community Service & Relations Coordinator. As part of the responsibility of the CSRC, I oversee providing the New York Times to the Lewis & Clark community and I’m excited to announce that effective Monday, December 3rd, you will now have full complimentary access to NYTimes.com and NYT mobile apps among other amazing features outlined here.

To activate your pass for free access, follow these steps:

1. Visit AccessNYT.com and be sure to use your @lclark.edu email address.
2. Follow the simple instructions to create your account.
3. Once activated, your pass will provide unlimited and uninterrupted access to NYTimes.com from any location until the time you graduate.

In anticipation of this exciting new offering and in an effort to make L&C more sustainable, ASLC will be cutting back the number of print copies provided beginning in the Spring. If you cannot access the NYT online, be sure to seek out one of the limited number of print copies from outside Fields Dining Hall.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at csrc@lclark.edu. For support with the onboarding process, please fill out the link here.

Have a great rest of the semester,

Mikah Bertelmann ’21, Community Service & Relations Coordinator
