FLC's strategic vision for the future

In 2024, Fort Lewis College embarks on an exciting journey to redefine our impact and shape our future through a new strategic planning process. This initiative is a collective endeavor led by our Strategic Plan Steering Committee, President, Vice Presidents, and Board of Trustees, aimed at capturing the diverse voices of our community and positioning us for success in 2025 and beyond.

Our goal is clear

We will engage the entire Fort Lewis College community in creating an inclusive, well-informed, comprehensive strategic plan to help us navigate the evolving landscape of higher education, focusing on opportunities for growth, inclusivity, and excellence.

Why a new plan?

The world has changed significantly since 2019. In response to these shifts, we're committed to a plan that ensure the highest quality education for our students while championing tribal sovereignty and bridging equity gaps.
