Student Food Pantry Drive
Our TLC Brigade has adopted the month of February to help replenish the Student Food Pantry. We hope you will join us in this special food drive to support the basic dietary needs of our students.
 
  • When selecting your items, please consider the recommended donations.
  • Check expiration dates carefully.
  • Donations may be dropped off during the month of February at the Division of Human Resources, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at:
  • Modesto A. Maidique Campus - PC 209C
  • Biscayne Bay Campus - HL 320 
  • Or, you may also shop online and mail in your donations.
 
On behalf of the TLC Brigade Committee and the FIU Retiree Association, we thank you in advance for helping our students in need succeed.

Tech Days: Tech help at your fingertips
Our first FIU Retiree Association Tech Day of the year went off without a "glitch!" Thank you to all who joined us to learn about accessing your free memberships to The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times - a great benefit to FIU Retirees!

We are excited to kick-off the rest of the year with an interesting lineup of Tech Day topics, so please be sure to join us on the last Friday of every month to learn a new technology based skill. 

RSVP today and we will contact you with instructions on how to join us via Zoom.
