"Reimagine What's Possible!"

Honoring The Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." -- Martin Luther King Jr.

As we observe Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the FSC campus community pauses to celebrate a leader whose vision continues to shape our nation and our shared work. Dr. King challenged us to imagine a society rooted in justice, compassion, and the unwavering belief in the dignity of every individual. His legacy calls us not only to remember, but to act. FSC reaffirms our responsibility to cultivate a community where all people feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. READ On

We reaffirm our commitment to fostering a campus culture where every voice and person feels a sense of belonging. This year, we embrace the principle of Cultural Humility, a lifelong practice of self-reflection, openness, and learning from one another and focus on how we show up, listen, and build respectful relationships.
