Letter from Director Aileen Izquierdo

Welcome Panthers!

There are countless ways for you to engage with your fellow FIU students, faculty and staff. We encourage you to explore our website to learn more about the opportunities that you have available to you, including the BOLD Agency, a student-run public relations and advertising agency; the FIU Chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA); the National Communication Association’s official honor society Lambda Pi Eta; and many other ways to work with faculty on practical research and projects.

Internships provide valuable experiences that can lead to post-graduation employment opportunities and it is never too early to start thinking about your internship options. Visit the FIU Scholarships site for more information on various scholarship opportunities.

Finally, as you get into the rhythm of the semester, do not forget to reach out to your advisors to ensure you are on track to completing your degree. If you have questions, we are here for you. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns or need guidance.

Sincerely,

Aileen Izquierdo
