FIU Service Awards 2021
T
he success of our students and graduates has its foundation in the hard work and dedication of FIU faculty and staff who create an environment that encourages those who pass through our halls. Our valued faculty and staff are the portals through which our learners soar as innovators and leaders in the world and on the global stage. Our collective efforts are paying off: FIU has many Top 50 rankings in the nation among public universities in U.S. News & World Report’s annual survey, Washington Monthly named our FIU a Top 50 national public university, and Times Higher Education impact rankings named us a Top 50 public university in positive impact. In a time that has been unlike any other in recent memory, we are reminded that working together we achieve our greatest successes. In fact, in 2020 – for the fifth consecutive year – our FIU was named one of the best colleges in the nation to work for, according to a survey by The Great Colleges to Work For® program. The university also achieved honor roll designation, with recognition in 11 out of 12 categories. FIU has received honor roll designation every year since 2016. Such honors are testament to our collective belief that through collaboration, a shared commitment to excellence and a prevailing atmosphere of respect, we elevate our student body, institution and community. Thank you for being part of something that is making a real difference in the lives of so many.
