EDITOR’S NOTE: Settle in to life on campus
Now that everyone is settling into their classes, it’s time we turn to one of the most challenging aspects of a college student’s life: living on their own.
Editor’s Note
EDITOR’S NOTE: New Year, New Classes, New Us
Happy New Year Panthers! 2019 has finally arrived and with it comes new classes, new experiences and new challenges. If you’re new to the University, thank you for making PantherNOW part of your FIU journey.
EDITOR’S NOTE: “Do it for the degree” should be your mantra during finals week
We’ve made it everyone. The end of the semester is almost here.
And that means the most stressful week in a college student’s life is coming up: Finals.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Examining U.S. – Cuba relations is a must in Miami
Pots clanging, cars honking, flags waving, people screaming — I can still remember the celebratory sights that filled the streets in Miami when the news came that Fidel Castro, Cuba’s communist dictator, was dead.
EDITOR’S NOTE: If you need to break the ice, just use food
It’s amazing how food can help grow relationships, whether it’s to start conversation at a party or to give you time to learn something new about someone.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Thank a veteran today and always
Our university is like its own city, with a diverse set of members, including veterans, which is why Student Media decided to dedicate this week’s theme pages to our country’s heroes.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Careful with the web, it could haunt you later
If there is one thing Millennials can say we’re experts on, it’s social media. The generation after us, sometimes referred to as Digital Natives or Gen Z, even more so. However, as our access to the digital world continues to increase so does the danger.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Use Your Voice: Vote
We’re lucky to live in a free, democratic society, but, we have to take care of it.
That’s why it’s so important to vote every election, including midterms. Voting is a constitutional right that is sometimes taken for granted, but it’s the most powerful tool we have as American citizens.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Everything you need to know about campus safety
Student Media was counting down the days until the University’s 2018 Annual Security and Fire Safety report was released because we knew it would be key to helping us create this week’s theme section.
EDITOR’S NOTE: October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month
This year, Student Media is participating in National Disability Employment Awareness Month, a national campaign led by the United States Department of Labor during October that focuses on raising awareness about “disability employment issues and celebrates the many and varied contributions of America’s workers with disabilities,” according to their website.
