In a historic move that signals a significant step toward reconciliation with its past, Fort Lewis College (FLC) has named Dr. Heather J. Shotton as the sole finalist for the institution's presidency. If confirmed, Shotton—a citizen of the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes and a Kiowa and Cheyenne descendant—will become the first Indigenous person to lead the institution.

The new dining option is part of an effort to upgrade food service on campus by offering more variety and fresher ingredients.

The board voted unanimously to approve Shotton after a closed discussion. A final decision on her appointment is expected at the board’s April 11 meeting.
