The Dr. Joyce F. Brown Legacy Fund
Honoring a Visionary Leader, Shaping the Future of FIT
About the Dr. Joyce F. Brown Legacy Fund
For 27 years, President Joyce F. Brown’s transformational leadership has shaped the Fashion Institute of Technology into the global standard for creative education. She has left an indelible mark on thousands of lives, redefined industries, and enhanced FIT’s stature on the world stage.
As Dr. Brown prepares to step down, the Dr. Joyce F. Brown Legacy Fund offers an opportunity to celebrate her remarkable leadership and advance the visionary work she so passionately championed. The fund will support the creation of a state-of-the-art science laboratory at FIT—a space that brings to life the core values Dr. Brown has cultivated throughout her tenure: innovation, sustainability, and access. By building this groundbreaking facility, FIT will empower students to pursue bold new ideas on campus, deepen partnerships with leading institutions, and embody Dr. Brown’s enduring belief in the transformative power of education to shape the future.
The fund will make an enduring impact on our FIT community. Your support will help provide a world-class learning environment where the values of creative freedom and social good will always thrive.
