FITIC is an initiative that supports Pillar 4 of the UMKC Strategic Plan by helping faculty to develop skills and strategies to create inclusive curricula and classroom cultures that reflect our campuswide dedication to equity and the welcoming of the diverse and global perspectives represented in our surrounding communities.
The program is open to full or part-time UMKC faculty and begins fall 2023. Eligible participants are required to attend all four live FITIC workshops in the 2023-2024 academic year and to complete all asynchronous assignments outlined in the syllabus and housed within our Canvas platform.
