A Message from the Athletic Director
Gary Hunter
On behalf of all student-athletes at Fort Lewis College, I would like to thank you for your continued support as FLC alumni and fans in making Skyhawk Athletics the best it can be. Without dedicated supporters such as you, these student-athletes would not receive the opportunities to further their education and complete their degrees. As FLC athletics continues to excel, we are asking our student-athletes, fans, and supporters to grow with us to a new level of commitment. Accordingly, I would like to introduce you to and invite you to join our new Skyhawk Athletic Association, the main avenue for giving to FLC athletics. The mission of the Skyhawk Athletic Association is to support FLC student-athletes by providing much-needed funding and scholarship assistance.
Â
The Skyhawk Athletic Association will continue to Build Tradition through Champions. But, we need you to help make this happen! A gift to FLC athletics and the Skyhawk Athletic Association helps personally ensure that FLC has the continued ability to recruit, retain, and support the most talented student-athletes and make their life goals a reality. You will be supporting 12 sports and more than 300 student-athletes.
Â
Thank you in advance for your support. Once again, I appreciate your commitment and look forward to seeing you cheering the Skyhawks to their next victory! We hope we can count on your generous support of the Skyhawk Athletic Association and FLC’s team!
Â
Go Skyhawks!
Gary Hunter
Why your partnership is so important
Â
We’ve made a pledge to parents, student athletes, alumni, and fans to maintain premier programs. Each year we continue to excel and honor this pledge.
Â
FLC teams compete with the best NCAA Division II schools, achieved nine national playoff appearances, and won three national championships.
Â
Academically, five teams earned a GPA of 3.00 or higher last year, and for the fifth straight year, the women’s basketball program has been ranked in the top 25 of NCAA Division II for highest team grade point average (GPA). During the 2012-13 season, forty-seven student-athletes received Academic All-Conference honors.
Â
The Skyhawk Athletic Association emphasizes 12 Sports—One Team. New membership benefits are being offered, and exciting new programs, such as the Hawk Chirp, Fans Choice, Premier Seating, The Hawk’s Nest and the Coca-Cola Hawk Perch, are being presented. We are proud to offer these exciting new avenues for supporters of Fort Lewis athletics.
