Fort Lewis College's vision forward

Fort Lewis College’s Strategic Plan 2025–30 is woven like a braid, intertwining five transformative directions—Reconciliation, Academics, Student-Ready, Basic Needs, and Community Connections—into a resilient framework for growth. This braided approach symbolizes our commitment to collaborative governance and shared progress, where diverse threads of academic innovation, inclusive support, and community partnerships converge to strengthen our collective future.

With an Implementation Committee driving cross-campus collaboration and accountability, this strategic plan not only sets a bold vision for rural higher education but also reinforces our promise to empower every Skyhawk through unity, diversity, and excellence in education.
