Just like we take care of each other as Skyhawks, we need to care for others in our communities and take necessary actions to protect the health of all. To support these efforts, course instruction and campus services remain online for summer term, and our Admission Office is offering a number of Virtual Visit options. Staff, faculty, and campus residents continue to follow safer-at-home public health orders. Stay well, Skyhawks!

FLC is an active, hands-on, you-have-to-try-this-for-yourself educational experience. We don’t just sit in small classes and look at the mountains. We hold class in those mountains. Or the desert, or the river, or a non-profit in town, or the US-Mexico border. We install solar panels on the Navajo Nation, and water systems in Myanmar. We take trips to the highest peaks on Earth. You have got to try this.
