Broadcast Communications and Film, SUNY Brockport • M.S. Communications, Walden University Kiki Wilson is an online communications professor at Fortis College. Kiki travels extensively to share her series, Conscious Communication, which fosters open dialogue and new strategies in communicating about topics such as race, LGBTQIA+ issues, workplace bullying, and leadership development. “I just want to thank everybody involved here at FLCC,” she said. “I was able to really gain my voice and become my true authentic self, and I was able to come out and share my coming out story.” The College celebrated nine alumni for outstanding achievement and recognized several others for their exceptional contributions to the College at the 2024 Alumni and Foundation Awards last fall. Ethan Fogg ’00, president of the Alumni Association and emcee, opened the event with a reminder of why it is so important. “While we have so many alums doing so many great things, there are always times we just need to stop and look around and at least identify a few to create even more inspiration for those who are coming behind them,” he said. Kiki, shown with friends and family, holds the plaque with her image that is now on a wall at the College.
