Ethics Bowl On November 15th, the FLC Ethics Bowl team competed
in the Rocky Mountain Regional Ethics Bowl. The
RMREB is one of ten regional competitions that brings
hundreds of students together to argue and defend their
moral assessment of some of the most complex ethical
issues facing today’s society. This year’s team of four stu-
dents traveled to CU-Boulder and faced off against teams
from all over Colorado. When the dust settled, FLC’s
team was sitting on top and now advances to the Nation-
al Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl being held in Costa Mesa,
CA on February 22nd. The Leadership Center is pleased
to provide these students with the opportunity to put
their critical thinking skills to the test. Win or lose, they
represent the exceptional liberal arts education they are
receiving at FLC and we could not be any prouder of
them! - Mark Mastalski, Director

Cover Photo On November 11th, Veter-
an’s Day, over 450 FLC
community members par-
ticipated in the “Path of
Honor”. People were en-
couraged to write the name
of a Veteran in their life
and post it on a large board
that was publically dis-
played throughout the day.
This was just one event
that FLC hosted to cele-
brate our nation’s heroes.

Registered Student Organizations
Interested in starting a student organization? The registration period for new student organizations for Spring 2015 will be
from December 22, 2014 to January 23, 2015. Organizations that register dur-
ing this time period will get a $50 allocation from ASFLC. The online registration
form will be on the Leadership Center website. Existing organizations do not
need to re-register for the second semester (their initial registration was for the
entire school year). For any questions, please contact Chloe Canterbury.
Could your student organization use
more money?
Did you know there’s a way your RSO can receive money to go on a trip or even host an event? The Fi-nancial Allocation Board offers event and travel grants to help fund these activities.
In the past, RSOs have received travel grants to help cover the costs to attend conferences all over the United States. RSOs have also re-ceived event grants to bring speak-ers to campus, hold networking events, or even concerts!
The paperwork to apply for these grants can be found on the Leader-ship Center website. Currently, FAB has over $2100 for travel grants and $6700 for event grants left in their budget to award! Take advantage of this awesome resource! If you have any questions feel free to email Chloe Canterbury.

Are you looking to take your leadership to the next level?
The LEAD cohort program is comprised of four levels starting with Bronze, advancing to Silver, then Gold, and concluding with Plati-num. The cohort model allows each level to be run like a class or or-ganization that will meet once a week at the same time for several weeks in a row. This gives participants the opportunity to grow through a shared experience. By participating in LEAD, you will gain a better understanding of leadership styles, learn to recognize the power of a team, and develop the potential to create social change.

Student Wellness Initiatives
This month WellPAC presents “Stressed Out at Hogwarts” a stress management pro-gram with a Harry Potter twist to help you get through finals. Look for us in the Stu-
dent Union the week of December 8th!
In November, WellPAC members
Carly Marceau, Hannah Horn, Ra-
chel Clark, Danielle Lucero, and
Kevin Gardner presented on the
importance of authenticity and
meeting people where they are at
in peer education at the BAC-
CHUS Initiatives of NASPA’s an-
nual General Assembly Peer Edu-
cator Conference in Orlando, FL.
Get some exercise! Yoga, a quick run, ride your bike, or study while on the treadmill! Try to aim for 15-30 minutes.
Eat Healthy! Eating nutritious foods will energize you and increase your concentration and retention of information.
Catch Some Zzzzzzs! It’s never healthy to pull an all-nighter. But if you do, make sure to take a nap (20 minutes is best) to recover.
Know When to Say “NO”! Being involved and volunteering can make you feel good, but if you don’t have time, it’s ok to say “no”.
Ask for Help! Struggling in class? Talk to your professor, get a tutor, or form a study group. Consider talking to a counselor for an extra dose of stress management help. (Call 970-247-7212 to schedule a free session at the FLC Counseling Center.)
