With the new Art of Embarcing All of You and Taking Back Power Through Forgiveness workshops, you'll be provided with opportunities to continue developing your personal resiliency muscles.

Please join us to learn more about equipping yourself with inner grace and compassion.

Vaccination remains the most powerful tool to prevent the COVID-19 disease and stop community spread. We are counting on every Panther to do their part.

As we strive to keep our FIU family safe and healthy, we want to hear why you were motivated to get vaccinated.

Check out why Nathan Burandt, Benefits & Wellness Program Manager, Division of Human Resources, took the important step.

At FIU, we have vaccines available on campus for students, faculty, staff, retirees and eligible members of their households. Visit go.fiu.edu/vaccine or call 305-348-5100 to schedule your COVID-19 vaccine appointment.
