Meditation Space

The FIT Meditation Space, located in Dubinsky Student Center, Room A746, has been specifically created to provide a spiritually calm, warm, and supportive space for FIT students.

Here we invite students from all backgrounds and cultures to meditate, pray, reflect, or simply to take time to be still. It is our hope that this space will serve as a serene oasis for our students who need to take time to renew themselves for a few minutes during their busy day.

Hours of access are from 9 am until 6 pm, Monday through Friday. The room will remain unlocked and accessible during this time. The space is closed on weekends, college holidays, and academic term breaks.
