FIT's Earthquake Relief Efforts

FIT is deeply concerned about the tragedy in Haiti, which was struck by a devastating earthquake on January 12, and in Chile, which was struck on February 27. Relief efforts are being organized at many levels—from local communities to international efforts. We strongly encourage our faculty, staff, and students to get involved, to reach out to support the victims of the recent earthquakes at this time, and to continue to support them throughout the rebuilding efforts.

At this time, relief agencies have indicated that the best way to help is through monetary donations.
