Chef David Cuntz (Art, ‘90) was honored with the Colorado Restaurant Association’s Stars of the Industry Chef of the Year Award. The award, typically given to chefs in Denver, is both a prestigious accolade for Cuntz and a recognition of Durango’s status as a food mecca.

Sarah Sturm (Art, ‘12) finished in second place at the USA Cycling Singlespeed Cyclocross Championship, smiling and gritting her way through what was a tough race. 

Jessica Morrison (M.A. Education-Teacher Leadership, ‘15) wrote an op-ed in The Durango Herald on the importance of the Southwest Colorado Education Collaborative. In partnership with K-12 school districts across the Four Corners, Fort Lewis College formed the collaborative to give K-12 students learning tools to pursue their career goals and opportunities to shadow working professionals.

A cohort of 140 Fort Lewis College students was celebrated during Fall Commencement. Hosted inside Whalen Gymnasium, it was the first indoor ceremony since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic—a testament to FLC’s commitment to public health protocols.
