Message from the Alumni Association
Dear Panthers: Spring 2021
Congratulations and welcome to the Panther alumni family—we are nearly a quarter-million strong!
While your commencement experience is different than Panthers who have gone before you, what remains the same is that you have worked hard to get here and have a lot to be proud of. Let that pride propel you forward as you start or turbocharge your career using the degree you received today. Your family, your community and Panthers everywhere are rooting for you!
As an FIU alumnus you are automatically part of a strong and growing Panther network—the FIU Alumni Association. For starters, you have access to more than 300,000 local and national services, benefits, and discounts. But the real power of our network is what we can do together and how we can give back to our FIU.
The Alumni Association also helps fund student scholarships, provides professional development, engages in legislative advocacy, and sponsors many major events throughout the year.
Come visit the Alumni Association office anytime you are on campus. You’ll find us in MARC Suite 210 at the main campus. Learn more about your Alumni Association by visiting fiualumni.com, by following us on social media: @fiualumni and #fiualumni, or by calling 305-FIU-ALUM.
Remember that we are all ambassadors for FIU and pride in our FIU can show in many different ways: Wear your FIU gear, rock an FIU license plate, come to games, visit our museums, catch a show or a concert, mentor a student. Make a difference.
Go Panthers!
