To all who have attended Fort Lewis College, and experienced the work hard/play hard lifestyle of this special community, I say, “Welcome Back!” Although you are visiting virtually, I hope the information and images found in these pages will inspire you to recall your days spent in this unique environment. Daily I drive the rim, soak in the views of the stunning Animas Valley and the surrounding Rocky Mountain peaks, and feel absolute gratitude for the chance to be in such a place. I believe that once a person has spent a good deal of time in this area, a part of them stays here, connected in some way over whatever distance they have since traveled.
Staying connected can be as simple as perusing the monthly offerings in our electronic newsletter, and visiting this website periodically to learn the latest news about the place you used to call home. For others, that connection may come in the form of attending an alumni event, or returning for the alumni homecoming festivities – always a good excuse to visit this area. If you are so inclined, the Alumni office can help you track down fellow FLC alums and host a gathering in your area. It is amazing some of the places our 28,000 graduates can be found, maybe right in your own community. So, check out the site, contact me with any ideas you have, and tell me what you are up to these days via the contact information below.
Cheers,
