FIU and its Panthers had an amazing year in 2013. Looking back at some posts of the last 12 months reminds us of just how much fun we had together and what we can achieve when we aim high and work hard. Before we begin another year, we thought we’d take one last look at a few of the stories that captured our imagination and reminded us that we have much to learn from each other:
