Ethics Bowl On February 22nd, the FLC Ethics Bowl team competed in

the 19th Annual APPE Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl. The

four team members attended the annual Association of

Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE) which conclud-

ed with the competition featuring 32 teams from around

the country. This was FLC’s first time at the national com-

petition and they secured the invitation after winning the

Rocky Mountain Regional Ethics Bowl. FLC was highly

competitive and finished the day 2-1, defeating teams

from the University of Northern Georgia and the Univer-

sity of Alaska-Anchorage while falling to the University of

Oklahoma in a tight match. Students from all majors are

invited to share their interest in joining the team for next

year by contacting the Leadership Center. Congratula-

tions to the team on their success! Go Skyhawks!

National Collegiate Leadership Conference

The National Collegiate Leadership Conference

(NCLC) is held at the University of Arizona annual-

ly and this year Fort Lewis College sent eight stu-

dent representatives. This event is a student-run

conference that hosts over 600 participants from

over 20 states. NCLC is rooted in the idea that lead-

ership, service, and social justice are all connected.

Participants engaged in workshops on body lan-

guage, networking, negotiation, emotional intelli-

gence, feminism, and so many more. Here is what

some FLC students who attended had to say:

“I would say one of the main things I took away was the idea of understanding yourself in order to successfully lead.”

-Samantha Garcia

“The biggest takeaway from the sessions was how much impact small details can have on my success and how valuable my time is. “

-Nino Kvaraia

Fort Lewis College students Jill Panawa

and Cory Patterson presented a program

called “LoveQuest” at NCLC. Their ses-

sion focused on how individuals can use

their Top 5 Strengths from Clifton

StrengthsFinder to better understand re-

lationships. They added a fun twist to it

by incorporating Disney characters.
