There are a million reasons to honor Deedee for her contributions to Fort Lewis College - She is kind, caring, funny, and warm - who is incredible at her job, is ten steps ahead of everyone, let's no detail slip by, is so helpful when asked, thinks of the bigger picture, is the definition of a team player, and we are so lucky to have her at the college!! Thank you, Deedee!!!! 

Jake is one of those people that is always willing to help, even when it's outside the scope of his job! He is a joy to be around, and his easy-going attitude is contagious! He is an asset to ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓÆµ, the Registrar and especially Skyhawk Station team - we really appreciate all he does!

Thank you to Nicolette! She does it all!

Sand is part of the Admissions Pro Team that assists the Registrar's Office with transfer evaluations during new student advising seasons.  We completed nearly 600 student evaluations for Fall 2025 and owe much to them for this accomplishment.  Sand recently took on some extra duties that require astute attention to detail and integration of complex material that saves the transfer evaluators an immense amount of time in the evaluation workflow.  They are an integral part of the process, and we are so fortunate to have them as a partner in this important work for students.

Tristan responded very quickly to an important IT ticket I submitted. He was able to help me recover a large PowerPoint deck that I had inadvertently deleted. Without his help, I would have been incredibly stressed and needed to spend several hours recreating. Thanks for the excellent service, Tristan
