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.

For the Deming and Sells-Wheeler families, Fort Lewis College has been a part of their legacies for multiple generations.
With her bright smile often accentuated by scarlet lipstick, Hayley Kirkman (Art, ‘17) blends art into the tiniest details of her life.
FLC classrooms are evolving to encompass even more Indigenous perspectives, thanks to a three-year, $500,000 grant from the Mellon Foundation. Visiting Assistant Professors Davina Two Bears and Brian Twenter have both joined the Native American & Indigenous Studies Department as this year's Mellon Scholars.
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, or AACSB International, announced that Fort Lewis College has extended its business accreditation, an accomplishment that has been achieved by only 5% of the world’s schools offering business degrees at the bachelor’s level or higher.
The Equity Transfer Initiative awards up to $27,500 to advance transfer pathways between San Juan College and FLC and increase transfer and completion for underrepresented student populations.
