💙 Today is #GiveMiamiDay — and I’m All In for Florida International University. Every Panther has a story. For many, it’s a testament to resilience, ambition, and innovation. At FIU, we proudly lead the nation in social mobility because we believe talent needs to shine. Sometimes, just $1,200 stands between a student and their future. That’s why I’m asking you to join me in supporting two powerful initiatives: 🎓 Scholarships — to help students stay enrolled and complete their degrees 🚀 The SOAR Initiative — to empower faculty, accelerate innovation, and strengthen our community impact. Whether you give $50 or $500, your contribution fuels opportunity and ensures FIU continues to lead as a top-50 public and R1 research university. Let’s keep the momentum going. Let’s be All In for the next generation of leaders. 👉https://bit.ly/3M98fdG
