About the Skyhawk Summit
Fort Lewis College is proud to launch the inaugural Skyhawk Summit—a campus-wide experience bringing faculty and staff together to learn, connect, and celebrate as we close out the academic year. Step away from day-to-day work and join colleagues from across campus for interactive sessions, new perspectives, and time to connect. Together, we'll reflect on the year, share ideas, and strengthen the relationships that support our campus community.
What to expect
Choose from 15 breakout sessions led by colleagues across campus, offering practical insights, new ideas, and opportunities to learn from one another. Additional details, including session information and registration, will be shared soon.
