Staff Writer| Alexandra Perez In today’s world, all roads lead back to AI. And while that might make sense in a rapidly evolving era, it has also made something else exponentially clear. Every conversation about college somehow ends the same way: AI. It really doesn’t even matter where the dialogue starts… learning, cheating, the future- […]
Last week, FIU Athletics posted a reel to Instagram with a simple caption: “Heard people were wondering about @Pitbull.” It was intentionally cryptic, owing to the fact that for weeks, national coverage inquired as to why Armando Christian Perez, better known as Pitbull, was not fulfilling his commitments to the stadium that bears his name.
