Campus Life

Whether you find your self-expression and sense of connection through movement, culture, social or environmental action, or something totally different, there’s room for you at FLC. Find your flock with our Diversity programming and a host of student-run clubs - or create your own! Join the FLC Cycling team or sign up for intramural sports. Run for student government, advocate for the planet with the Environmental Center, spin tunes at our on-campus radio station, and more. When you're a Skyhawk, you're welcome to stand up, stand out, and never stand still.

Okay first, we're gonna meet up with Iyahna Calton. 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. So, 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. Over 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. Personally 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. My 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. Iyahna, 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. Take care Iyahna.
