On Saturday, October 12 we gathered for a spirited celebration at the 2019 FIU Homecoming Retiree Reunion. It was a joyous afternoon among friends and former colleagues.
As our guests of honor entered the festive occasion they were welcomed with a networking reception that included: light fare, FIU spirited photo opportunities, games, as well as access to program ambassadors from FIU's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, Tech Days, Benefits Administration, Ignite and Digital Collections.
The traditional
annual group photograph
session couldn't be missed with our beloved Roary. Guests also enjoyed an early dinner in the great company of our distinguished guest speakers, Dr. Steve Altman and Richard Blanco. As with each year, the FIU Ambassador Award was presented to a deserving retiree. To conclude our annual reunion, several guests were treated to fun game prizes right before the Homecoming parade set the stage for the much anticipated Homecoming game. Our student athletes were amazing on the field, and beat the opposing team, UNC, 42 - 23.
We are thankful to have reunited with so many of our amazing retirees, and look forward to many other opportunities to reconnect again in the future. To relive some of the festive moments captured, visit the event gallery by clicking the button below.
