Drag is a performance that seeks to exaggerate gender expression, whether feminine, masculine, a combination of both or other forms of gender expression. This is typically for entertainment purposes. 

Every year on Halloween night, The Gender and Sexuality Resource Center hosts a spooky-themed drag show in the ballroom at Fort Lewis College. This is one of their most attended events of the year, according to assistant director, Al Wolfe. 

This event seeks to provide students with something to do on Halloween night without having to leave campus, while providing a safe space for the queer community and allies, Wolfe said.  

The safety and protection of students is a big priority, with this year's attendees being required to present their FLC identification, Wolfe said.  

October rain does little to keep FLC from celebrating Indigenous culture 

Members of Ballet Folklorico de Durango, a cultural arts program that promotes Mexican culture, perform Sept. 19, 2025, during Fiesta en la Mesa in the Student Union Plaza at Fort Lewis College.

For dozens of Fort Lewis students, alumni and community members, Fiesta en la Mesa was a way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a game of Lotería, Latin food, a piñata and a live performance by Mariachi Amigos de Nuevo México. 

El Centro de Muchos Colores has organized the fiesta for the past 30 years, helping to raise money for clubs and organizations at the college along the way.
