74 Florida International University Fall 2019 Commencement 75 FIU Alma Mater Dear Panthers: Fall 2019

Congratulations and welcome to the Panther alumni family—more than 235,000 strong! Belinda Gunn, Lyrics 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 Carl Strommen, Music 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.

Earlier this year FIU launched the public phase of the Next Horizon campaign. The $750 million campaign supports key areas of need and opportunity, focusing on student success and research excellence. If you earned a scholarship at FIU or were part of a program supported by philanthropy, you have benefitted from the campaign.

Now you have a new opportunity to participate. In fact, many of your fellow graduates already have: This year alone, more than 3,000 grads have made a gift to our student emergency fund. Pride is a team sport, and when you get involved by volunteering or making a tax-deductible gift, you make a real impact in people’s lives.

The Alumni Association also helps fund student scholarships, provides career coaching, 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!

A special thank you to our Students, Parents, Family and Friends.

Michael A. Hernández ’04, MPA ’11 Duane M. Wiles To all the Faculty, Staff, Administration, Ceremony Ambassadors, Divisions and Departments, including Facilities Management President, Alumni Association Executive Director and and Custodial Services that have a role in this event, we appreciate your ongoing dedication to FIU. Associate Vice President 19799_12/19
