Alumni Advisory Council

The new Alumni Advisory Council (AAC) at the Fashion Institute of Technology is a coalition of alumni—from fashion, design, communications, entertainment, production, media, advertising, and marketing—who represent the voice of FIT alumni. They encourage alumni to support FIT and advise the alumni relations and advancement strategy at the FIT Foundation. FIT is committed to creating a council that is representative of FIT's alumni population, inclusive of graduation year, gender, ethnicity, geography, and professional seniority.

The AAC mission is to cultivate lasting relationships with FIT alumni that engage and serve the community in an impactful way. The council recognizes and underscores the professional accomplishments of alumni. The group encourages and facilitates participation in the advancement of the college through active alumni engagement, volunteerism, and philanthropy.
