A central component of FIT's mission, and woven throughout the college's strategic
plan, is a commitment to sustainability, diversity, and civility. One of the key goals
of the FIT Strategic Plan is to create a campus that is purposefully diverse—one which, through its students, faculty and staff—reflects the pluralistic city, nation, and world in which we live.
Through the establishment of various councils, task forces, and committees, President
Joyce F. Brown has provided opportunities for members of the FIT community to celebrate
and honor cultural diversity, to incorporate sustainability into both operational
and curricular activities, and to foster discussion of respectful ways of living and
learning in a higher education environment. The groups are charged with providing
support for activities and encouraging dialogue throughout the institution.
