April 17-18 marked the 3rd annual Preview Weekend for Admitted Students at Fort Lewis College. Over 200 admitted students and their families visited Fort Lewis this weekend, including three families from Alaska.
Preview Weekend is perhaps our second favorite time in the school year, with the first being our Fall Convocation at which we will officially welcome new students into the FLC family. Our Preview Weekend is designed to provide students with the information they need to make a decision about whether Fort Lewis is the right choice for them. This year's activities included mock-classes, icebreaker activities with our Adventure Education students, a question/answer session with President Bartel, and a performance by our theater students. Students seemed to enjoy the activities, including some new ones like getting your picture taken with our mascot, Skylar Skyhawk as well as getting temporary FLC tattoos. I joined in the fun as well. Well, you can already see my picture (above) with Skylar, and I did get a tattoo. I just won't tell you where.
Students and their families left Fort Lewis College with a solid understanding of our philosophy on the undergraduate experience. Students experienced first-hand and found out for themselves why Fort Lewis is a such a special place. As our Preview Weekend guests saw we’re proud of our rich heritage yet we’re also proud of the visionary new direction in which we are headed.
The 2009 admitted class is one o the finest cohorts of students admitted by Fort Lewis: 3.23 average GPA, 1069 average SAT, and 105 CCHE Index score.
