Campus & Community

Background: What's your title, and what do you do on your job? And how many years have you been at FLC? I started working in the Registrar’s Office as the Assistant Curriculum Specialist last April. My main project is facilitating the upcoming transition from 4 credit to 3 credit classes, which involves processing about 900 different proposals. So far, this has been a great...

Construction is well under way on Fort Lewis College’s new Geosciences, Physics and Engineering (GPE) Hall.

The Old Fort Farm Stand appears weekly on the FLC campus, giving the community the chance to reap the benefits of their labors, with a great selection of fresh organic produce and grass-fed meats.

Orientation and the return to classes is a big event in student lives -- see how our students, families, faculty, staff, and the Durango community documented it.

By this time next year, I expect us to be moving into...
