- Hosava Kretzmann (Public Health, '18), a citizen of the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe, was the first American and sixth person to cross the finish line at the Los Angeles Marathon. The 28-year-old finished the 26.2-mile race in a time of 2:19:55 ahead of 22,000 other runners. Incredibly, it was the first full marathon Kretzmann had ever run.
- With diversity statements under fire, the right response isn’t to give up on addressing equity goals through hiring: it’s to improve what we’re asking of candidates, Justin McBrayer, associate dean, and Sarah Roberts-Cady, professor of Philosophy, wrote.
- Cole Wilson, a senior studying Adventure Education, began his walk from Phoenix to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to raise money for the Grub Hub Food Pantry. Before he left, Wilson sat down with KSUT Tribal Radio to discuss the importance of food security at FLC.
- In a column for The Durango Herald, Charles Hakes, a senior lecturer of Physics & Engineering, shares advice on locating Leo, one of the zodiac constellations. Hakes said spring is traditionally galaxy season, and Leo has numerous galaxies worth finding.
- According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, national governments have not done enough to stop global warming in the seven years since they signed the Paris Climate Agreement. Heidi Steltzer, professor of Environment & Sustainability, said in News Leaflets that reaching those global climate goals may require a transformational vision of science.
- Reefer Madness, The Musical opened on March 17 at the Durango Arts Center and will conclude its run on April 2. It’s a high-camp parody of a deadly serious film made in 1936 to warn the nation about the menace of marijuana. It was produced by Michael McKelvey, assistant professor of Musical Theatre, in association with his company Doctuh Mistuh Productions.
- Writing for The Durango Herald, Andrew Gulliford, professor of History, recounts "Posey's War." It was a brutal affair, Gulliford said, started by the encroachment of settlers onto the ancestral lands of the Ute and Paiute nations. At the center of the conflict was 55-year-old William Posey: a Paiute leader of the resistance movement.

That's hawksome
Marina Galasso, a senior studying Art K-12 Education, published a series of three children's books. Galasso was awarded a grant from FLC to publish the third installment, which will be featured at the Teacher Education Department's professional exhibition.
Creating artwork is a slow and therapeutic process, Galasso said. Each image took, on average, three hours to complete, making each page a unique piece.
