June in photos: Scenic views, Fostering Panther Pride and a time-traveling car

This month, thousands of new students flocked to the university for Early Fall, including our students in Fostering Panther Pride, which offers tailored services to students identified as formerly in foster care or homeless. We also experienced a sunny break in Florida's characteristic summer rains, giving our photographers opportunities to capture some of FIU's iconic buildings. Here are some of our favorite moments from June, as captured by FIU photographers Margi Rentis, Doug Garland, Vince Rives and Lucy Logan.

Launched in 2013, the primary goal of FPP is to assist former foster care youth and homeless students in their transition to FIU; their retention and graduation; and their pursuit of securing employment or graduate studies upon receiving their undergraduate degrees.
