FIT Civility Initiative
2025: Accountability
October 13–17, 2025
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.
Call for Proposals
All faculty, staff, and students are invited to submit proposals and ideas for events, workshops, speakers, panels, and more to be presented as part of FIT Civility Week 2025.
Submissions should encourage awareness around an inclusive array of ideas and identities while reflecting on the impact and effects of accountability. Proposed sessions can be in-person (depending on the availability of space and campus resources) or virtual.
All submissions must be received by 5 pm on Monday, September 22, 2025.
