The Fort Lewis College Board of Trustees has voted unanimously to confirm Heather Shotton as the sole finalist to be the college’s new president. The board has two weeks to confirm her nomination.

If selected for the job, Shotton, a citizen of the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes and a Kiowa and Cheyenne descendant, will become the first Indigenous person to lead the Durango institution. She is currently the vice president of diversity affairs and acting dean of students.
