Homecoming
Contribute your ideas for floats, pre- and post-game activities or anything else you'd like to do in the spirit of Homecoming.

Skyhawks' Job Source
The Career Services Office has a new online program called Skyhawks' Job Source.  This program allows current students, alumni and employers to interact.  Students and alumni can post their resumes, seek career advice and search for jobs.  Alumni can also sign up as mentors, allowing them to discuss career fields and other concerns regarding job issues with current students and fellow alumni.  Once they have completed their employer profile, employers can post vacant positions and, in some cases, search the database for candidates. For more information, contact Director of Career Services Allyn Talg at talg_a@fortlewis.edu or 970-247-7562.

Student Recruitment
Do you want to help Fort Lewis College recruit the best students from your community?  The Office of Admission offers a program called Alumni Ambassadors, which engages alumni with prospective students in their hometowns.  Ambassadors will be asked to call and email prospective students to answer their questions about FLC and Durango, help with college fairs, and even throw going-away parties for new freshmen each fall.  For more information, contact Director of Admission Andrew Burns at burns_a@fortlewis.edu or 970-247-7180.
