FIC Awareness Campaign Team

Who We Are

FIC ACT stands for FIC Awareness Campaign Team and is a group of students passionate about raising awareness on topics they believe impact our student community, on and off-campus, and work hard to coordinate social events throughout the semester. FIC ACT members are excited to share their knowledge and experience with other team members, open to new ideas and look forward to learning from each other.

What We Do

FIC ACT works closely with the Wellness Office to identify the issues or topics within their community that are important to raise awareness about. Then, they create awareness campaigns virtually and/or in-person through ways such as releasing digital content on social media, information sessions, workshops, info booths, fun activities and more! They create events that all FIC students can participate in and are there to provide guidance to your curiosities and direct you to the right person to talk to. Some examples of the events the team has created include: Mental Health Awareness, Sustainability, Sexual Health & Consent, and Healthy Eating. We hope to see many students at our events!
