Thomas is one of three finalists at Fort Lewis
Lewis-Clark State College president Dene K. Thomas has been named one of three finalists for the presidency at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colo., Fort Lewis officials announced on Monday.
Thomas has been at LCSC since 2001 and has been instrumental in helping the substantial enrollment growth. The college has set sixth straight all-time enrollment records during the spring and fall and had more than 4,000 students enrolled in the fall for the first time with 4,200 students.
Thomas said she didn’t openly seek the job in Colorado, but was approached by the headhunter in the search. She said Fort Lewis is similar to LCSC in enrollment size and is noted for its work with Native Americans.
Thomas says her candidacy at Fort Lewis is an exploration and not a measure of her dissatisfaction at LCSC.
The Fort Lewis search committee will conduct interviews with the three finalists between this Friday and March 5, and hope to have a decision by the end of March.
