Tell us a little about yourself:

The original academic building on campus, Berndt Hall currently hosts the President's office and other administrative spaces. Grab a coffee from the caf\u00e9 and wander the state-of-the-art labs of the Biology Wing, where student research decorates the walls and friendly faculty offices invite student questions and ideas.

The riches of the Southwest U.S. coalesce at this museum, library, and archive center specializing in the history and cultures of the region. With rotating exhibits, a research library, and community presentations, students have access to hands-on training in collections preservation, while the community enjoys a treasure trove of regional relics.\u00a0

With a focus on hands-on learning and access to real-world instrumentation, FLC\u2019s Chemistry Department provides students with research opportunities that are typically only reserved for graduate students at larger institutions. Behind classroom and laboratory doors, students are busy collaborating with faculty on projects ranging from environmental sustainability to materials sciences and beyond.\u00a0

As one of the largest performance venues in the Four Corners, the Community Concert Hall boasts crystal-clear acoustics in its 600-seat theatre. Students can get discounts on local, regional, and national music concerts, comedy shows, dramas, lectures, dance recitals, and other surprising presentations throughout the year.\u00a0

A buzz of productivity with a hint of future success is guaranteed on a walk through the halls of EBH. Home of the KATZ School of Business and the School of Education, EBH\u2019s smart classrooms provide spaces for students to sharpen critical thinking, communication, and the hard skills needed beyond graduation.\u00a0

It\u2019s not unusual to hear melodic voices, tuning instruments, or the occasional operatic solo drifting through the halls of Jones. Joining the Roshong Recital Hall and Music Department are the Honors program and Sociology classes. This favorite study spot for students also houses Jones Caf\u00e9.

Home of the humanities, the funky halls of Noble are a great place to get swept up in heady philosophical and literary discussions. As an after-hours meeting space for many classes, Noble hosts presentations, films, and thought-provoking meetings in amphitheater-style classrooms. History students enjoy the coziness of a faux fireplace and access to peer educators and faculty office hours in the HEARTH, or History Education And Research Teaching Hub. \u00a0

Autumn, you're up take it away.\r\nHey everyone, one of my favorite things here at the Fort is how much they encourage a healthy lifestyle from on campus trails to free access to a gym it has been absolutely amazing and helped me continue my active lifestyle. I'm currently training to be in Spartan races right now and eventually in the Ironman and I just overall love exercising and being outdoors. The Fort has so many outdoor exercise options to offer my personal favorite one are the Sky Steps. I like to run this at least once a week just to get acclimated and prepare for future expeditions i have planned here. Also, the trail system on campus is amazing. I love to run the rim trail or just take my dogs out and explore and adventure. \r\n\r\nWhen I'm not working out outside, I like to go to the Student Life Center, this is our on-campus gym. I love going to the group classes, my personal favorite is the vinyasa flow yoga. I also like going to the crossfit training though just to mix up my workout routine. If you don't like group classes, the SLC has so much more to offer just like the elevated track system or the basketball courts and so, so, so much more.\r\n\r\nOn top of that, there is a professionally staffed health center and counseling center here at the Fort. At FLC we believe in integrated health which, basically means looking at a person as a whole so the healthcare providers will collaborate their knowledge on mental health and physical health when treating the student. The health center sees students for walk-ins or appointments for all minor illnesses injuries and consultations and can refer students to other doctors or hospitals in town for more serious situations. \r\n\r\nAt the counseling center your student fees cover four one-hour one-on-one sessions group sessions or, other options. Everyone has things they need to talk about and for me personally it really helped to have someone to talk to.\r\n\r\nOne more great resource on campus is Wellpack, our wellness peer advisory council. They're a group of students who are trained to do peer education and also public health education. One example of this is when FLC became a non-smoking campus they helped educate and support students. The thing I love about the Fort is how they support all aspects of a healthy lifestyle not just fitness. All right, back to you Alex.\r\n\r\nAutumn, thanks for taking the time to go into all of that. Health is one of the most important things we have as individuals and it is great to see how Fort Lewis College makes it such a priority here on campus. Well done, thanks again. Cheers, Autumn."}], "is_video_vr": false, "playlist_preview_start_time": 12, "id": 11178, "duration": 195.392, "name": "Noble Hall", "description": "

While much of their time is spent in the region\u2019s mountains and deserts, Adventure Education students call Pine Hall basecamp. Whether in class at Pine or alfresco classrooms of the great outdoors, AE students stay busy learning how to facilitate education and growth in a range of adventure settings.\u00a0

From sun-soaked seating to cozy nooks, the library provides a launching pad for all things academic. Digital resources and research staff are available by day, while the Fish Bowl study area is open 24/7, so students can get all the support they need. IT support is also housed in the lower part of Reed.\u00a0

[Music] Okay everyone next we're gonna go meet Sadie Wendt. She's a senior and transfer student and she is incredible and we couldn't be more excited to have her talk about academics here at Fort Lewis hey Sadie you're on, take it away. Hello, everyone. I am so excited to be here to talk to you all about academics here at Fort Lewis that I have found incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. There are many opportunities within the majors and programs to find your home. There are over 50 majors to choose from as well as minors, concentrations, and certificates that you can combine to make your own. Fort Lewis offers programs in arts and humanities, science, business, and education. For example I'm a theater performance major here but I have been involved in the music department and I've recently taken an interest in the education classes and programs we have here on campus. The faculty at Fort Lewis have been incredibly welcoming and personable and I have been able to connect and make relationships with professors. Honestly that's something I didn't have at my last college and something I really appreciate about Fort Lewis. The best part is the small class sizes you really get to know your professors and your classmates. Fort Lewis's curriculum is very engaging and I love that we as students get to experience our areas of study hands-on we're not just sitting in a lecture listening, we're going out and doing. Depending on your major that could be teaching in a local elementary school or doing your own research in a lab for me it's performing on a stage. Overall, Fort Lewis has been one of the best academic decisions that I've made in my life to help prepare me and support me for my future especially the hands-on learning experience. I hope you've learned a little bit about the academics here at Fort Lewis. I've had so much fun. Back to you, Alex. [Music] Sadie, thank you. Great job. That was awesome to learn more about the academics through your personal perspective and experiences. That was great. Thanks again. Bye, Sadie.

Here at Fort Lewis College we hope that the knowledge we give you as a Skyhawk will carry you into your future career after leaving the nest. FLC has a great career services office that helps our students and alumni find the skills they need to succeed in their future careers. Career Services provides assistance and resume and cover letter creation as well as career findings such as choosing a major, or finding what graduate school will suit you best in the future. Not only that, but Career Services provides us students and alumni with interview tips as well as job and internship searches that are catered specifically to you. Nearly all of the professors I have had have incorporated in one way or another real world examples as well as hands-on learning experiences that I can use in my future career. I was even able to take a psychology class working with kids and doing prevention programming this allowed me to work with the kids in their own space where they were comfortable while I was also learning how to do successful youth prevention programming. \r\n\r\nFort Lewis College offers internships all over campus as well as within the Durango community. FLC has prepared me for a career in so many different ways and I am so, so thankful and grateful to such an amazing institution as well as such a supportive Skyhawk family. Everywhere I go, FLC staff and faculty stress the importance of creating a community to support you through your college and career journey and I truly hope that you decide to join our nest. Back to you Alex. \r\n\r\nTiarney, great job.

Thanks to the generosity of alumni Gary Schlessman (Business, '79) and his family's foundation, Schlessman Family Hall is FLC's newest building and the Four Corners' premier health sciences center. The 42,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility houses classes and laboratories for FLC's fastest-growing programs in Public Health and Health & Human Performance. Students work with faculty to research wellness methods, optimal performance strategies, nutrition, and solutions to some of the region's greatest health challenges.\u00a0

The home of the Geosciences and Physics & Engineering departments, Sitter Hall features informative aesthetics and regionally relevant decor that evoke a spirit of learning-by-doing. When school\u2019s in session, students work with instruments used in professional settings, enjoy access to a rooftop observatory, and participate in research projects rooted in real-world application.\u00a0

\r\nHey Alex, hey everyone. So, Computer Engineering is a new major here at Fort Lewis and it already has an incredible reputation. I've been doing research at the college for almost a year. And, in that time I've had wonderful research opportunities presented to me. I work closely with the Biology, Physics, and Engineering departments. The undergraduate opportunities are beyond belief. And, this is because the professors work tirelessly to bring these opportunities to campus. The amount of cross-disciplinary training and hands-on work that I've been able to do extends from microbiology to microfluidics, lasers and optics, machining parts and printed circuit board design.\r\n

\r\nThe research is exciting but, that doesn't mean regular courses are boring. It's quite the opposite. In my geology class, we went north of Durango to look at fossilized specimens in limestone, stratification of rock, and natural occurring hot springs. In my physics course, we built an electric motor from nothing but wood, nails, and wire. In chemistry class, we synthesized Ibuprofen. With all of these classes, I got the opportunity to connect my learning to the real world. The classes here at the Fort are more than just theory, they're application.\r\n

\r\nIf these classes sound a little academically challenging, you're absolutely right. But, luckily, the tutoring services on campus are phenomenal. As a CE major, I have to take a lot of math. There is a Peer Education Center that has tutors at the ready to help you with any problems that you may have with math, writing, languages, and more. The Native American Center also has dedicated tutors for a wide variety of classes. Best of all, all of these services are free.\r\n

\r\nThe feeling at Fort Lewis is that everyone wants you to succeed. If you put in the time and the effort, the opportunities will present themselves and you'll reach new horizons. Alex, back to you.\r\n

\r\nJesse, wow, what you're getting to do at this college is absolutely fascinating. There is no better way to prepare for the real world than working on real work. That's incredible, thanks for sharing. Great job.\r\n\r\n"}], "is_video_vr": false, "playlist_preview_start_time": 12, "id": 11182, "duration": 163.286, "name": "Sitter Family Hall", "description": "

Future home of the CU Nursing and FLC collaborative!
Students with the CU Nursing Fort Lewis College Collaborative will soon have a chance to get experience in a state-of-the-art clinical training facility as the College breaks ground on a $2.9 million, 5,000-square-foot renovation. The program seeks to provide a four-year nursing undergraduate degree combining the strengths of the state\u2019s flagship medical institute of higher education and FLC\u2019s expertise in rural and Indigenous education.

From musicals to plays and all the dramatic readings between, the Theatre Hall is the heart of creativity for FLC students, faculty, and visiting artists. Props and costume shops, a set-building facility, and two theatres occupy this innovative space. Current students receive free tickets to programs throughout the school year.\u00a0

With 24 national championships under their belt, the FLC Cycling team is the gold standard in collegiate cycling. But that\u2019s no reason to be intimidated! The program warmly welcomes anyone interested in riding bikes to strap on a helmet and check out track, mountain bike, cyclocross, BMX, or road rides.\u00a0

Since the first game was played here in the fall of 1959, spectators have enjoyed top-notch views from Dennison Memorial Stadium. The mountains, mesas, and Colorado blue skies are enough to inspire awe in our Skyhawks athletes and fans, and our worthy opponents.\u00a0

Located at 6,800 feet above sea level, Dirks Field provides one of the not-so-secret weapons for Skyhawks athletes: prime high-altitude training grounds for the men\u2019s and women\u2019s soccer teams and an intimidating place to dominate the competition on gameday.\u00a0

Besides serving as a go-to practice locale for some of FLC\u2019s 14 NCAA Division II teams, the Smith Sports Complex also hosts numerous summertime sports camps and soccer tournaments. The four fields feature natural grass surfaces, fenced in to help maintain maximum quality.\u00a0

When the women\u2019s team isn\u2019t hitting homers in the Softball Complex, Aspen, Birch, and Cedar fields host summer recreational league softball and kickball games. With views of the San Juan Mountains, there\u2019s not a bad seat in the house at this beloved community venue.\u00a0

Beyond NCAA Division II basketball and volleyball games, Whalen Gymnasium also hosts an array of campus events. From commencement and convocation ceremonies to the annual Hozhoni Days Powwow, Whalen holds many memories for Skyhawks athletes, fans, alumni, and community members.\u00a0

Ethan, you're on. \r\nWhat's up everyone, I'm here to tell you all about Fort Lewis athletics and what we're all about here. Now, what I'm about to say a lot of other athletes have said before but, here it is a fact. Every single athlete here that plays at Fort Lewis College knows that there's something special going on here. From the beautiful scenery at practice to the preparation before game day to every single person in those stands watching us compete day in and day out and I can guarantee you there is nothing better than when it's crunch time and it's all on the line. Fourth and one on the goal tide matching volleyball in the last set and those cyclists and runners going through the end there is no better feeling than putting the team on our back and coming in clutch.\r\n\r\nFor those of you that are curious about all the little details Fort Lewis College is a division two school in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference or, the RMAC for short. We play teams all over the Midwest, Adam State University, Chadron State, Colorado School of Mines and New Mexico Highlands just to name a few. The only team that operates a little bit outside the RMAC, is our cycling team. They compete in the USA division one program and they have a ton of championships to boot because we're that good.\r\n\r\nNow, in the day to day I'm gonna be real with you. It gets pretty tough being a student athlete here. The way it was put to me was, growing up you now have two jobs you are a full-time student and a full-time athlete and you got to find a way to make it work and they weren't kidding about that either. So, a lot of these people come in thinking they're going to be great and amazing and then they get hit by a truck the first time that they go through with it. But, if you're like me, it's a blessing in disguise. A lot of us figure out who we are as a person, what we want to do, and what we can figure out in the classroom as well.\r\n\r\nNow, when I first came home from my first semester of being a football player, my folks didn't even recognize me. When I left I'd struggle with my weight, my time management, and I could barely communicate in a severe fashion to anybody but, then when I came back I figured it all out. I dropped 20 pounds, I was able to manage my time properly and I was able to say what I really thought to my parents. It was kind of funny because they looked at me and they just went, \"where's Ethan and what did you do with him?\"\r\n\r\nI know what some of you guys are thinking, this is great and all but I'm not a student athlete. Well, this next little bit is just for you. There are tons of things that you can do to help support your student athletes such as going to the games, getting fired up for those rallies. Every single athlete loves having you, we all want you to be there every single time we compete and I'm gonna be honest in the stands it is an absolute blast every chance I get I go to a basketball game, a volleyball game, or another type of athletic event and it is no doubt some of the most fun I've had in college. There's always going to be something to do from an athletic standpoint so you can always support your Skyhawks. And, that's Fort Lewis athletics in a nutshell. Go Skyhawks talon's up, back to you Alex.\r\n\r\nEthan, your energy and excitement for athletics at the Fort here is contagious, great job. I want to go back to college and play sports right here that was awesome thanks again."}], "is_video_vr": false, "playlist_preview_start_time": 12, "id": 11179, "duration": 221.632, "name": "Whalen Gymnasium", "description": "

She's a junior originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is majoring in psychology with a double minor in criminology and pre-law. Very, very impressive and she's going to share with us what campus life is all about here, at Fort Lewis. Take it away Iyahna.\r\nSo, when it comes to campus life at the Fort there are a number of ways to get involved. Let's be honest, that's a big part of the college experience, the community, and that's exactly why our campus is buzzing with events and activities for the students. Usually, when something big is taking place on campus, it's best to be in what I call the \"holy triad.\" The \"holy triad\" consists of the clock tower, the library, and the student union, and are commonly places where students can find A: an ideal study spot, B: a tabling event of some sort or, C: a place to hang out and meet someone new.\r\n\r\nOver time at Fort Lewis these places became legendary to me, holy in a sense. Serving as a space to meet some of the most wonderful people in my life today and these views are just a few of the beautiful places available students on campus functionally serving as a hot spot for new hangs or, the place for the perfect picture. \r\n\r\nPersonally speaking, my experience at the Fort has been full of perfect and not so perfect moments. If you ask me, understanding life as a young adult can be all too challenging which, is why choosing the right college can quite literally mean everything. Fort Lewis meant for me choosing an unknown path, a new path when it came to forging diversity, equity, and inclusion. Fast forward three years and self-work, growth, and actualization to have taken place right here on this very campus and thanks to campus life I'm grateful for the opportunities presented to me. I was able to genuinely cultivate a network that of which I am so very proud of. My role as a part of student government has allowed me to represent the student body in ways I never knew possible.\r\n\r\nMy greatest role as Black Student Union president, has presented me with a platform to speak on issues around colonization, oppression, addressing discussion and dialogue unknown to the narrative. By now, I'm sure that this is where I'm meant to live and the truth I'm meant to be a part of. If you ask me what makes this place so unique is people like you with a story to tell and a top tier liberal arts education awaiting. I hope I didn't tell you all our secrets and if anything that I said stuck with you for whatever reason well, I hope to see you soon. I'm off to one of the beautiful views I was talking about earlier. See you around. Back to you Alex.\r\n\r\nIyahna, that was so special thank you for speaking from the heart that was really cool. This campus is incredible and I've been loving the vibe ever since I got here. Great job thank you for that.

He's a senior here at Fort Lewis College, an outdoor adventurer in every sense of the word, is going to talk to us about outdoor recreation here at Fort Lewis. Nate, how you doing, take it away.\r\nHow's it going everyone? One of my favorite parts about the Fort is the fact that I have all this great access to outdoor recreation out here. I'm a raft guide during the summer time rafting down the Colorado River in the desert and during the winter time when I'm not in school, I'll dedicate my time to backcountry snowboarding. During the spring I go and do ski mountaineering, which is riding technical lines down the big high peaks out here in the San Juans and during the fall I explore the infinite canyons of the desert. What's really cool about Durango, is that the San Juans are right there in our backyard and the desert's only about two and a half hours away so, that means that you've got world-class skiing, climbing, mountaineering, hiking, backpacking, it's awesome. Durango is home to the Animas river, it flows right through the heart of downtown Durango and it's an awesome spot for white water kayaking and rafting out here. Durango is also home to the end of the Colorado Trail; we've got a ton of trails out here, hundreds of miles weaving in and around town that is great for trail running, mountain biking, hiking, you name it.\r\n\r\nIf you like national parks, then you will have a ton of options out here. We got places like Grand Staircase, Escalante, Choco Canyon, Canyons of the Ancients, Arches, Canyonlands, and Mesa Verde is only about an hour away. Not to mention, all the national forests as well as all the designated wilderness areas that you can explore and camp in all by yourself. Whether, you've been exploring the outdoors for your entire life or, you're just getting into it, Outdoor Pursuits here at FLC is an awesome resource. It's located right here on campus at the Student Life Center and they provide free gear rentals to all the students. You can rent anything from a mountain bike to split boards to hiking and backpacking gear anything you need to be successful out there in the wilderness. Not only do they provide free gear, they also provide guided trips and training tutorials so that you can hone your skills before you go out there on your own. These trips are provided by student outdoor leaders and guiding professionals themselves in the field and range anywhere between backpacking trips over the weekend here in our backyard or mountaineering trips all the way around the world. I love going to college here because this place has really allowed me to explore all these new recreational activities and truly find all these cool outdoor experiences and it has really shaped who I am today. Back to you. \r\n\r\nNate next time I'm back here you have to take me on one of those awesome adventures you do all the time.

Future home of the Common Spirit Performance Center. Our Skyhawk Athletics' goal is to graduate champions in the classroom, competition, and greater community and this renovation will provide a state-of-the-art facility that will include opportunities for innovative performance, rehabilitation, nutrition, and wellness programs. Renovations are expected to begin in 2024. Wellness programming kicked off in Spring 2023.

This outdoor classroom offers a unique learning space to help answer our biggest questions about tiny species in a world where water is increasingly sparse. Vertically tilted, lichen-kissed Baker\u2019s Bridge Granite, Twilight Gneiss, and Irving Gneiss provide a prime growing environment for small, bare-root local and global native montane and alpine species.

A facility for athletic development, sports cardiology and medicine, and high altitude physiology research. Located in Schlessman Family Hall at the Fort Lewis College campus, the Center is a learning and assessment resource for Exercise Science majors and Skyhawks athletes.

In the 1960s, Herbert E. Owen, the father of FLC\u2019s Biology Department, envisioned sharing a garden featuring plants that grow naturally across the Four Corners. Over the years, faculty, staff, and students have nurtured this ever-evolving park and outdoor learning space to ensure the garden thrives\u2014despite the persistence of resident deer that also find solace in this quiet place.

The Hesperus Peace Park welcomes anyone to enjoy a breath in this quiet respite from the bustle of campus life. Named in honor of FLC\u2019s former location in Hesperus, Colorado, 15 miles west of Durango, the Peace Park is a welcoming place to wander, meditate, and contemplate universal efforts to promote peace in the world.\u00a0

Home of the Admission Office, visitors to FLC will meet their campus tour guides and chat with admission counselors here. Current students also find inspiration and support for studying abroad with the International Programs Office.\u00a0

As one of the oldest buildings on campus, McPherson Chapel also boasts one of the best views on the rim. With vistas of the free-flowing Animas River and sunsets over the La Plata Mountains, this non-denominational place of meditation is also a popular wedding venue for many FLC alumni.\u00a0

For a bird\u2019s eye view of campus, downtown Durango, and beyond, a hike or bike ride up the RidgeView trails is worth the heart-pumping effort.\u00a0

With more than 300 days of sunshine, gorgeous views are almost guaranteed, no matter the day or season. When gazing down on the town of Durango, note that it\u2019s just a 10-minute walk or five-minute bike ride, and all students receive a free year-round pass with Durango Transit.\u00a0

Tyler is a junior theater education major here at Fort Lewis College and is going to give you an overview of this college's location here in Durango, Colorado. Which, let me tell you, is absolutely amazing; it's an incredible mountain town. You're going to want to watch this. Tyler you're on, take it away.\r\nHello everyone, bienvenidos, welcome to Durango, Colorado. We are located in the southwest part of Colorado also known as the Four Corners. The Four Corners are where New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado state corners meet. We have a lot to offer here in Durango. We have breathtaking views, restaurants, coffee shops, stores, food trucks, and a diverse community that welcomes and accepts us college students and encourages us every single day. One of the most well-known attractions in our town is the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. This train brings so many tourists from all over the country to our small little town. The train takes passengers from our town to the neighboring city of Silverton.\r\n\r\nDurango is a quaint mountain town that was established in 1880 and has evolved since then from being a gold and silver mining town and to now what is known as a college town. From here in the Animas River Valley to the 14,000-foot San Juan peaks, we have direct access to Colorado's largest wilderness area. That's why I like to call Durango a bucket list mountain town. Durango has year-round festivals because we like to get outside and have fun. This includes, A Taste of Durango, a foodie's dream, Durango Playfest, the Celtic festival and Durango Bluegrass Meltdown, and Snowdown. Snowdown is our wild and entertaining festival where everyone in the town gets dressed up and competes in crazy competitions. \r\n\r\nIf you like that small mountain town feel, I don't know a better place for you. Speaking from experience, when your college is located in Durango, Colorado all your friends and family will want to come visit you. It's a very special place. All right, that's enough for me. Back to you Alex. \r\n\r\nTyler great job. Thank you, for that. You're 100 percent right, Durango is truly a special place. Thanks again. Cheers, Tyler"}], "is_video_vr": false, "playlist_preview_start_time": 12, "id": 11177, "duration": 168.363, "name": "Rim Overlook", "description": "

Ally, it's all yours. \r\nHi everyone, as Alex stated my name is Ally. I'm now going to introduce myself in my Navajo language. Kinyaa\u2019aanii nishli doo Naanesht\u2019ezhi Tachii\u2019nii basishchiin. Tlaashchi\u2019i dashicheii doo Kinyaa\u2019aanii ei dashinali. JeehDeez\u2019a hoolyeedee\u2019 iiyiisii naasha. What I just said in my Dine language are my four clans that I use to identify myself as a Navajo woman.\r\n\r\nI personally chose to attend Fort Lewis because of their commitment to serving students and the diversity within this community and it's proven to be the best decision I've ever made. Fort Lewis is a unique place where diversity is central to who we are. Over 50 percent of our campus are students of color representing nearly all 50 states, 15 countries, and 170 Native American tribes and Alaskan villages. Fort Lewis is a Native American serving non-tribal institution that offers qualified students a tuition waiver, if they come from federally recognized tribes. The tuition waiver was established in 1934 to provide Native American students an opportunity at affordable higher education. The old Fort Lewis property in Hesperus, Colorado was home to a military base and Indian boarding school in the 1800's.\r\n\r\nFort Lewis College is currently taking steps to address its history and the school has been working to understand and represent the diversity of the student body. One of the ways that this is done is by the resource centers that we have available to us. On campus, we have resources like the Native American Center, El Centro de Muchos Colores, the Black Student Resource Center, and the Gender and Sexuality resource center. These centers play a huge role in everyday student life from free tutoring to events on campus there is a place for everyone. The opportunity to meet new people from a variety of backgrounds, interests, and concentrations of study are always available here at FLC. That is something that I truly love about this campus. Together as Skyhawks, we work hard to create an inclusive community by actively seeking to understand the diverse backgrounds of our community we become agents of change to create a more equitable world and I love it. Thanks everyone, that was super fun to share what diversity means here at Fort Lewis and back to you Alex. \r\n\r\nAlly, thank you. Thank you for being so open and honest about diversity here at Fort Lewis. The world needs more people like you. Great job."}], "is_video_vr": false, "playlist_preview_start_time": 12, "id": 11180, "duration": 198.144, "name": "Student Union", "description": "

Mr. President the floor is all yours. \r\nThanks Alex, Mr. President has a nice ring to it, wish more people would call me that. Now, let's talk about student housing first. We have a lot of great options to choose from. If, you want a traditional college experience you can choose Camp, Crofton, or Escalante. You'll have one roommate a bathroom at the end of the hall and it's a great place to meet a lot of new friends. But, if you like your personal space, we have a lot of suite-style options on campus just for you. Bader Snyder, Cooper, West and right here at Animas Hall. Each of these share a bathroom with four different people and they come in single bedroom styles and double bedroom styles. Big shout out to all my friends over in Bader B, that's where I stayed when I lived on campus. \r\n\r\nNo matter where you choose, all the options are amazing and the staff there are there to help. They generally care about their job and they want to see you succeed whether, you lock yourself out of your room or, you just need someone to talk to. Of course, going to college isn't all just about school. A lot of great events are happening on campus and a lot of them happen right inside of the residence halls\u2013 pizza parties, tie-dye mixers, open mic nights. These events help me make new friends, adjust to college, and really enjoy my first-year experience. \r\n\r\nAnd of course, while living on campus we all have to eat. The San Juan dining hall and the Rocket Grill, are great places to go if you want to get a quick bite or sit with your friends and talk while you have a great meal. The San Juan dining hall has multiple options every meal so, there's always something for everyone to eat. If you have any dietary restrictions, don't worry about it. The dining hall will work with you to make sure that you can leave with a full stomach and a smile on your face. And, if you're wanting something quick and easy in between classes, we have three great coffee shops to choose from\u2014Animas Perks, Berndt Hall and Jones Hall. They're great places to stop if you want to get a coffee and a bagel and it gets you back to class in no time. That's housing and dining here at Fort Lewis College.
