With a heartfelt farewell that included a scavenger hunt and a cheeky slideshow, the FLC community said goodbye to a president who thought outside the box, took risks, and walked at 100 miles per hour in a whirlwind of energy with one question in mind: What will we do next for our students?

After six years at the helm of Fort Lewis College, President Tom Stritikus is stepping down to become the President at Occidental College, a four-year liberal arts college in Los Angeles, Calif. 

The revamped 5,000-square-foot renovated building will include three different teaching environments —a home-like setting, a clinical setting, and a simulation lab with three high-definition manikins.

Fort Lewis College prides itself on its steadfast commitment to becoming the higher education institution of choice for Indigenous students. 

DURANGO – Local entrepreneurs and philanthropists Marc and Jane Katz are donating $10.4 million dollars to Fort Lewis College's School of Business Administration, the single largest gift in the College’s history.

To more completely understand the boarding school era, FLC’s leadership, working directly with leaders of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, advocated for --state legislation that tasked History Colorado with investigating traumas inflicted upon Native American children at the Federal Indian Boarding Schools in the State of Colorado. The Bill also charged History Colorado to investigate the deaths and potential burial sites of the students who perished while attending the school.  Today, . A link will also be available on the FLC Reconciliation website. 

Guided by the leadership of our Trustees, alumni, faculty, students, and staff, FLC has explored how our origins as a Federal Indian Boarding School shape our present identity and influence our aspirations for the future.  

On a day when we remember those we’ve lost to anti-transgender violence, we also bear witness to more extreme violence and grieve the lives lost in Colorado Springs last night.

Sexual assault is horrific; it is particularly horrific when it happens on our campus, disrupting lives and distorting our sense of safety in the place we live, work, and learn. I’ve met with some of the impacted students in recent days, and with their input, I wanted to now communicate with the broader FLC community about this issue.

FLC values and cares about a sense of belonging and connection. Given the diminishing threat posed by the current variant and our interest in creating the best possible student experience, masks will be optional indoors, beginning March 7, 2022.

Way to stay safe and strong, Skyhawks! Our COVID mitigation strategies are paying off, which allows us to reevaluate and look to return to an even more engaging campus environment.

Because of the rapid spread of the Omicron variant in recent weeks, we are delaying the start of the semester to Monday, January 24 and a COVID booster shot is required for all students, faculty, and staff once you are eligible to receive one.

The fall semester is right around the corner, which means we finally get to come back #FLCTogether. I’m beyond excited to welcome our new and returning students to campus and engage with our FLC community in ways we haven’t before. The reason we’re able to come back to a vibrant campus is our continued care for another. The pandemic has disrupted many things, but not our commitment to doing what’s best for the safety and health of others. As we head into another semester of in-person learning and highly engaging campus activities, we’ll need to ground ourselves once again in the practices that have kept our community safe and learning.

Last year our FLC History Committee recommended that we remove the federal Indian boarding school panels from our Clocktower since they are inaccurate and disrespectful. Accordingly, we will be removing them on Monday, September 6, 2021.

In sorrow with First Nations Peoples, our FLC community expresses mourning regarding the news of the mass grave of Indigenous children. We acknowledge how heavy this tragic news weighs on Indigenous families who experienced the atrocities of boarding schools in Canada and the U.S. We also acknowledge how important it is for FLC to continue to examine our own Native American boarding school history with honest institutional reflection and transparency.

In our commitment to transparency and open communication, we want to provide an opportunity for you to ask questions and get answers from campus leadership and medical and health professionals.

By announcing our commitment to a vaccinated student body in the fall, we are taking the first steps to return to normal campus life. Here is our policy that will add COVID-19 to the list of vaccinations required for all students in the fall, which will take effect on August 1, 2021. This policy allows both medical and non-medical exemptions. You will find that it aligns with our existing protocols for the MMR vaccine.

A broadly vaccinated student body provides our best hope for returning to the hands-on, inclusive, experiential, and personalized learning environment that we have all come to love. As such, all students enrolling at FLC for the Fall 2021 semester will be required to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
