Dear Fort Lewis College:

Dear Fort Lewis College,

Since I was a young girl, my North Carolinan parents have reinforced the importance of writing thank you notes. With graduation next month, I am compiling letters for individuals who supported me at the college. However, I realize that it was not individuals who enabled my personal growth, but the entire Fort Lewis College Community.

More than just a minor: The Honors Program

When I arrived at Fort Lewis College in the fall of 2011, I was sure about majoring in , but I had next to no idea what I wanted to minor in. There were so many options; how could I possibly limit myself to a mere one or two minors? I decided to take a class in the college’s honors program.

Summertime and the livin’s easy

Or even the forearm muscles of a champion? If you spend a summer doing trail work, option B will comprise your summer much more accurately.

Adams State. They were ranked first last year in our RMAC conference, and our head coach’s daughter was their starting senior setter. This team gave us so much trouble last year, and had already beaten some of the best teams in our conference.

I started as a Print Reporter and I transitioned to become Online Manager and now for a year and a half I have been Editor in Chief.

And at ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓÆµ – and in Durango – there are plenty of others excited to head out there with you.

Involvement: The key to success

Engulfed in the flames of a busy school and work schedule, I asked myself: “What am I getting out of all this?” Doing the bare minimum is an easy habit to form when you are trying to balance your work and school schedule. But after really questioning my decision to be in school, I came to the conclusion that the bare minimum isn’t enough.

Academic assistance for all

While there are practically limitless ways in which Fort Lewis College is a special place, I have been particularly impressed with how committed Fort Lewis is in ensuring academic resources are abundant. Whether you need help with your advanced differential equations class or you’re trying to unravel what Kant’s categorical imperative is really all about, there are plentiful...
