Alizabeth was a huge help in getting the 1095C's printed. She was a huge asset in editing the file to streamline the printing of the forms. Thank you, Alizabeth! Your help was very much appreciated.

Allison has worked tirelessly to bring a new Student Housing assignment process in for our students. She is making sure this new change is student-focused. Allison makes time for all the students who need accommodations, room changes, and/or any other Student Housing-related support. She has been a fantastic addition to our team, and we are extremely grateful for her leadership and student-centered presence! She rocks!

Anthony goes above and beyond on a daily basis. He is a great asset to my department. Thank you, Anthony; you will be missed!

Ben is such an asset to the Registrar's Office. He is leading us through the Workday implementation in an eager, transparent, creative, and knowledgeable way. He is incredibly supportive and values each of us for our unique contributions to the team.

Brian is always an incredible asset to FLC. Last week, he outshined in helping me revive an antiquated lighting system at the Student Union building. He made himself available immediately for my needs and brought in others with expertise to assist. I appreciate his creative problem-solving and dedication.

Cathy is a volunteer driver for FLC to support the Special Olympics. Not only does she show incredible dedication to her program and our students, but she also received a call on the driving hotline commending her safe driving. Well done!

Cody came to the rescue to help me revive and recommission an antiquated lighting control system at the Student Union. He was creative, professional, and offered a level of service and dedication to the project that went above and beyond.

Cyrus was extremely helpful in reviving and accessing an old computer that I needed to maintain old Windows 7 on to recommission an antiquated lighting control system at the Student Union. I appreciated his expertise and knowledge in assisting us on the project.

Damian goes above and beyond in his work managing grants. He always comes through, even with tight and unreasonable deadlines, and is an excellent partner through complicated funding requirements. FLC is lucky to have him.

Dave has been an excellent mentor and champion of FLC. His years of dedication to the College deserve to be recognized. Thanks for all you do, Dave!

Dillon Nino is such a kind-hearted and thoughtful coach. He expects a lot out of his men but is a quiet warrior for good who is both supportive and pushes his men to deeper levels of greatness. His smile is a gift and a delight in our department!

Jaxsen has started his new role at FLC with energy, enthusiasm, dedication, and drive. He quickly began helping facilitate Adventure House programs, spends additional hours in the evenings and weekends being a presence in the buildings, and is always willing to help students and staff.

Jess is a passionate, patient, and enthusiastic leader. FLC is lucky to have such an excellent leader, and I consider myself fortunate to work with her. She is the best.

Kajen is such a valuable asset to our office. She is helping to guide us with the Workday implementation as well as being an excellent resource for Slate and many of our daily tasks. She has learned procedures very quickly and is efficient and kind in her dealings with her colleagues as well as students.

Kami is a joy to work with and is always willing to help in any way needed, even at the last minute. Kami has gone above and beyond the past few months making home-cooked, hot lunches for Biology students in the study lounge each day. For some of our students, this may be the only home-cooked, hot meal they eat all day. Kami pays for all the food and prepares it all by herself. I encourage you to swing by at noon one day to the Biology student study hall.

Marcus is crucial to the functionality of our office. He is a caring supervisor who checks in often and cares for us as individuals. His technical skills are superb. He is helping to guide us with the Workday implementation and is always available for support.

Marisa has been an amazing addition to the Financial Aid Office. She took over her position with ease and exhibited compassion and support for students as well as colleagues. In the face of FAFSA delays and shifting to a new software system, she has been an important part in keeping things running smoothly and providing a positive work environment during stressful times.

McKenna is always willing to lend a hand and is an excellent collaborator. I want to give her a shout-out today for being willing to help me through a tech issue even though neither of us knew what we were doing! Knowing that she had my back and was willing to jump in and problem-solve makes me feel supported as a colleague. McKenna rocks.

Mike is a great asset and valuable member of PPS at Fort Lewis. He is always willing to go out of his way to help students and staff with issues they have while being short-staffed. He contributes greatly to life on campus and is truly amazing at his position.

Natalia is a champion for good! She is thoughtful and caring of others and meets SA's in such an intentional way that lets them know they are good enough, as is. What a gift she is to Athletics! As a coach, friend, mentor, and overall human being—she excels at making others feel seen, heard, understood, and valued!

Paige is truly an awesome human being! She is so intentional with her team. They love her, and that is a testament to her big heart and goodness. She continually seeks to understand, support, and champion them to deeper levels of personal and athletic achievement. Though Paige is a skilled softball player, she has learned how to be the coach she is on the fly. Her unique, kind, and authentic personality has been a gift not only to her team but to the Athletics department. We are so lucky to love and know Coach Paige. She really is magical!

Peter works very hard to maintain a great-looking building. He has excellent relationships with students and staff. He is a great asset to my department.

Tre' might be new to FLC, but he brings enthusiasm and energy, along with a strong sense of team, to our department that was missing. His commitment to providing a safe, academic environment for campus is greatly appreciated.

Ty is so incredibly encouraging and thoughtful when it comes to knowing and supporting his team. He is a master recruiter and cares about players' well-being and success beyond the court. All feel his warmth and intention!

Whitney is acclimating so well into our team and onto FLC's campus. Her leadership and personality are a refreshing and welcomed force on our team, and we are excited to see how she shapes our program. We are so appreciative of how she puts her team first. Thank you so much, Whitney!
