Campus & Community

Fort Lewis College graduate student and third-grade teacher Carrie Harper, from Durango's Sunnyside Elementary School, was named as a prestigious Milken Educator, along with only 39 other teachers nationwide, in January. She is the only recipient from southwest Colorado and received a $25,000 award.

Fort Lewis College took a giant leap into the future in January 2012, when the Higher Learning Commission approved FLC's first graduate program: a Master of Arts in Education, Teacher Leadership Option. The first students in the M.A. program and the associated graduate-level Teacher Leadership Certificate program began their studies in Fall 2013.

The Spanish endorsement has existed at FLC in the past, and today Fort Lewis College is the only college in Colorado that offers a Bilingual Specialist Endorsement in Navajo.

“Fort Lewis College is such a great school,” she says. “I hope that it will attract players from all over the country who want to play competitive golf in such a beautiful place like Durango. The College has so much to offer academically, as well as its wonderful location.”

“The world’s a big place. There’s a lot going on. There’s not a better time to be coming out of school and be going out there and tackling some of these problems.”

That was one of the main messages that Doug Daniels, head of Google’s Cloud Platform, offered as he spoke at Fort Lewis College on March 16, 2015.

Fort Lewis College is rolling out its new mobile app on Monday, March 16. The app is free and will be available for Apple, Android and Windows devices.

I recently had the privilege of welcoming Carol Salomon and Norman Broad, two generous supporters of Fort Lewis College, to campus to celebrate the good their gifts have done. Their donations to the President’s Discretionary Fund have allowed us to support some wonderful initiatives and programs.
