Student Experiences

The department of Student Experiences aspires to engage students in holistic learning by instilling diversity, leadership, and personal development through its programs and services. By educating and mentoring students, Student Experiences seeks to provide our students with an opportunity to make meaningful connections and become leaders in a global community. Student Experiences is responsible for the advisement of the following councils; Black Student Union, Homecoming, International Student Union, Panther Power, Registered Student Organizations Council, and Student Programming Councils at MMC and BBC.

Involvement for all

Being involved means being a part of something you really care about!

Student Experience’s Involvement for All section will allow you to request an Involvement Consultation or browse through our agencies/bureaus and organizations to find the right fit for you. From school spirit to event planning and community advocacy, our organizations are sure to enhance your FIU experience so that you make the most out of college. All registered student organizations are open to all current FIU students.

Programs and Events

In addition to advising student councils, Student Experiences also oversees campus wide programs for students.

FIU in DC Fly In

Student Experiences in partnership with the FIU in DC Office created and organized a three-day, fast-paced dynamic learning experience for World’s Ahead DC Fly In students twice a year. Each semester (Fall and Spring) – 10- 15 students will travel to DC to experience think tanks, meet with representatives of the Senate and House, interview at possible internship sites, as well as learn about advocacy and communications. This program is to help students learn more about DC and the FIU in DC Office as well as learn about the endless possibilities DC has to offer.

Week of Welcome

Week of Welcome is a series of events during the first week of the fall and spring semesters that provides students with opportunities to engage with Student Experiences and the various student agencies and bureaus. There are opportunities to receive helpful information and resources, attend student-run events, and experience college life outside of the classroom.
