Word of the President

 

Success is the crow of collective effort and converging work. CIT’s students, faculty, alumni, administrators, and staff should stand out for their commitment to academic excellence, entrepreneurial spirit, diversity, vibrancy creative innovation and continuous improvement.

Students are the kernel of the academic institution and its motor. Their voice should be high and should be listened by all stakeholders of academia. In education, student voice refers to the values, opinions, beliefs, perspectives, and cultural backgrounds of individual students and groups of students in an academic institution, and to instructional approaches and techniques that are based on student choices, interests, passions, and ambitions. Student voice is the alternative to more traditional forms of governance or instruction in which academic administrators and faculty members may make unilateral decisions with little or no input from students.

My word to students you have two interconnected objectives: to succeed in education and to have a productive voice at the institution, which cannot progress without this voice. Please maintain this voice and make it higher and higher.
