The FIT campus is a student’s home away from home, and each year we invite family members and friends to make it theirs as part of Parent’s Day. Share the FIT experience as you spend time connecting with your student, interacting with faculty and staff, and experiencing what makes being a FIT student so special.
Parent’s Day offers many specially planned events and activities including the Welcome Breakfast, campus tours, faculty presentations, a resource fair and a special Fall Dance Showcase by the FIT Dance Company.
We hope you can join us and the many other families, where you can build your FIT pride and strengthen your connection to the College and your student. We look forward to seeing you at Parent’s Day!
