Saturday, April 24, 2021, 6:30 p.m. Commencement Speaker The Honorable Jeanette M. Nuñez, ’94, ’98 Lieutenant Governor, State of Florida A Miami native, Jeanette M. Nuñez was elected Florida’s first Latina lieutenant governor in 2018. In this role, she oversees the Florida Department of Health and serves as chair of the board of directors of Space Florida, an entity responsible for all aspects of the state’s aerospace industry. Additionally, she is chair of both Florida’s Cybersecurity Task Force and Women’s Suffrage Centennial and is a member of the Statewide Council on Human Trafficking. Nuñez served as a state representative in the Florida House of Representatives from 2010 to 2018 and was named speaker pro tempore from 2016 to 2018. As a legislator, she was appointed chair of the Select Committee on Hurricane Response and Preparedness, was the vice chair of the Appropriations Committee and served on the Rules and Policy Committee. Prior to that, she chaired the Health Quality, Government Operations and Technology Appropriations, and Higher Education and Workforce Subcommittees. Notably, she was also a member of Florida’s Constitution Revision Commission in 2017. Nuñez began her healthcare career working at Jackson Health System in 2004 as the state director for government relations, handling all aspects of the hospital’s state affairs. In 2006, she was promoted to vice president of government relations where she oversaw local, state and federal affairs. She has served on numerous boards and healthcare organizations, including the National Association of Public Hospitals Fellowship Program. In 2010, Nuñez became vice president of community affairs for Kendall Regional and Aventura Hospitals and Medical Centers. In late 2013, she began her own consulting firm, OnPoint Strategies, providing Jackson Health System with strategic advice on service line and business development. Nuñez served on the U.S. Department of Education’s National Assessment Governing Board from 2016-2019. Over the years, Nuñez has demonstrated her ongoing commitment to the South Florida community with involvement in the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Miami and the Women’s Healthcare Executive Network, among other organizations. In 2007, she was named Hispanic Woman of Distinction. From 2007 to 2015, she served on the board of Kristi House, an organization dedicated to children who are victims of sexual abuse. Nuñez is a two-time graduate of FIU, having earned a bachelor’s degree in international relations and political science and a master’s degree in public administration.

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!

Michael A. Hernández ’04, MPA ’11 President, Alumni Association
