The annual Student Life Awards recently honored 20 students for their exemplary participation in both academic and co-curricular activities both on and off campus. These students demonstrate the key values that FIU seeks to impart on its community – those of leadership, service and diversity. In addition to receiving a trophy, recipients of the Kaplan Educational Center awards also took home scholarships for a Kaplan graduate or professional preparation course.
