Joel Jones, President of Fort Lewis College in Colorado, sees the task of a liberal arts education as one of joining consciousness and conscience. President Jones strives to weave awareness of community into the fabric of academic life at the college, so that it permeates the lives of faculty, students, and staff. In order to carry this out, he has established a service-learning center on campus, worked to recruit a diverse student body, and instated seminars on diversity for faculty and staff. President Jones himself teaches a senior seminar highlighting with individual students, the ideas that he has built into Fort Lewis College as a whole.
