This Memorial Day, we pause as a Panther community to honor and remember those who served and sacrificed. 🇺🇸🐾

Quantum computers get the headlines, but quantum sensors are already working in medicine, navigation, and mapping. @FIU_CEC researcher Alex Krasnok explains how atoms, electron spins and light detect tiny signals.

FIU students recently heard from Miami eco artist and climate activist Xavier Cortada, who encouraged the next generation of researchers and storytellers to use creativity to make science more accessible and impactful. Through art, conversation and community engagement, the visit highlighted FIU’s role in environmental research and resilience in South Florida. Read more: news.fiu.edu/2026/as-an-asp…

FIU debuted at No. 7 in the U.S. and No. 2 in Florida in the Financial Times Executive Education Custom 2026 ranking. This marks FIU’s first year participating in the ranking of customized executive education providers.

Great catching up with @FIUHoops Head Coach @JCantens and getting a workout in together. @FIU has a great coach and a great leader who truly cares about this community. Now it’s time for all of us, especially the 300,000 @FIUalumni, to rally behind the program.

Congratulations to the FIU Law Class of 2026! 🎉 Through hard work, resilience, and determination, you’ve reached this milestone. As you take the next step in your legal journey, we know you’ll lead with integrity, advocate with purpose, and inspire those around you. 🎓⚖️@FIULaw

"It's the heart that does the work. The mind thinks of how you get it there, but the heart is the one that drives you when you're tired." Dulce M. Suarez on training the next generation of disaster responders at FIU's Academy for International Disaster Preparedness.

When disaster strikes, who's ready? This week, ~50 FIU graduate students moved from classroom to field, running a full-scale simulation: a U.S. disaster on day one, a major hurricane hitting Cuba on day two. For South Florida, that's not hypothetical. It's the neighborhood. news.fiu.edu/2026/fiu-disas…

A recent security incident that impacted Canvas has exposed data across nearly 9,000 institutions, including names, email addresses, student IDs, and private messages.  The FIU community should expect an increase in phishing attempts and stay vigilant.  Scroll to learn how to protect yourself.

This morning at FIU’s NSF-NHERI Wall of Wind Experimental Facility, researchers from Florida International University, The University of Kansas , and The University of Alabama subjected a full-scale manufactured home to simulated hurricane-force winds.

The research, led by the University of Kansas, will generate data designed to inform future updates to federal manufactured housing wind-safety standards. Roughly 22 million Americans live in manufactured housing. This is what a Top 50 public research university looks like in practice: solving problems with national consequence, in the city that needs the answers most. Read more: news.fiu.edu/2026/fius-wall…
