"Many of our students come from areas outside the Four Corners region.

Funded by the Walton Family Foundation, the Tribal Water Media Fellowship is a collaboration between Fort Lewis College, KSUT, and Rocky Mountain PBS. It allows fellows to research, create, and present multimedia projects on water, water issues, and desert communities.
Happy World Water Day! Our students recently received a $75,000 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency to develop a new system that would allow for more rapid, accurate, and cost-effective analysis of bacteria in environmental water samples. How hawksome! “Access to clean water is critical for protecting human health and the environment,” said KC Becker, EPA Regional Administrator. “Congratulations to these Fort Lewis College students, whose ground-breaking project develops innovative solutions to some of the most difficult water-quality challenges facing our region.”
