A crisp winter’s day greeted the two hundred or so graduates of the Winter 2015 Fort Lewis College Commencement on December 19. As their families and friends made their way into Whalen Gym, the latest graduates to join the Class of 2015 lined up outside to give their professors one last thank you as the faculty and administration made their way into the ceremony.

Finally, the grads themselves marched into the gym to the pounding beat of the Fort Lewis College Drum Line. Those that addressed the crowd offered their congratulations and their advice for the future. The Commencement Address (above) was offered by Assistant Professor of Adventure Education Lee Frazer.

To the Fort Lewis College Class of 2015: Wherever your future takes you, your friends at FLC wish you the best of luck and remind you that you always have a home in Durango!
