FIT Civility Initiative

FIT’s civility initiative is aimed at engaging our community in a discussion of respectful ways of living and learning in a higher education environment. FIT encourages our community to behave with civility.  A community upholding civility respects the rights of individuals and groups. It is characterized by understanding and considerations of the differences among members of the community. The diversity of the college adds to the richness of campus life, and FIT expects all members of the community to respect both differences and commonalities.

2024: Civic Engagement and Constructive Dialogue

Our 2024 theme is focused on fostering civic engagement and constructive dialogue. In embracing civility as a core value, we encourage our community to navigate conflicts constructively.  All events will aim to emphasize and to  empower individuals to participate meaningfully in civic engagement, embrace civility, and navigate conflicts constructively.  Submissions can be sent via this link.
