Flex Time Summer Program currently on hold (Information to be added back if program returns): Lewis students, faculty and staff are encouraged to get onboard. Relax and be transported to the Malls, Target, Walmart, restaurants, movie theatres and train stations. The Flyer Express will run Thursday through Sunday with modified schedules during campus breaks and holidays. Currently, we are running during the fall/spring semesters. I plan on sending out a questionnaire to the students as we approach the end of the spring semester to gauge their needs during the summer break.
