Welcome back Panthers!
The Fall semester starts today, so get ready for heavy traffic and scarce parking 🤪

📍Check Your Campus: Check Canvas or MyFIU so you're at the right campus (MMC or BBC). It happens to the best of us LOL. Allow penty of time at MMC for parking and/or walk to your classroom.
🚌 Use the Free Bus: Take advantage of the Panther Express shuttle to move between MMC and BBC stress-free. Miami traffic is not a joke.

And bring your best attitude to the classroom!

Have a great first week, and Fall semester, and go Panthers! 💙💛

Dr. Lauren Speeth recently joined Dr. Tatiana Andrienko-Genin’s COM 6435 Global Communication class for a virtual visit, and it was such a special session. She’s a Silicon Valley executive and a creator of incredible films and music, but what really hit home was her wisdom, shaped by her personal time with President Carter and her own innovative spirit.

Beyond her several doctorates and global impact, she truly connected with our students. She loved their energy and even invited them to stay in touch to share their future wins.

This is exactly why our program excels, we build these inspiring bridges in our classroom!
