The College of Engineering and Computing is celebrating its 30th anniversary this month, but it still feels alienated and sometimes forgotten by the University, as it sits almost a mile and a half west of Modesto Maidique Campus on Flagler Street.
The student tuition health fee allows students certain health services at little or no cost, but both insured and uninsured students encounter problems seeking medical help on-campus. However, now that the Affordable Care Act will offer more options for young adults, more students will have access to health insurance.
Just as four Panthers said their goodbyes in November, four more wave hello in December.
Andrea Lakovic was just one of four Panthers who played her final match in an FIU uniform after being swept by WKU (30-3), eliminating the Panthers from the Sun Belt Conference Tournament, 25-22, 25-12, 25-19. It was the second year in a row that the Hilltoppers have knocked FIU (20-10) out of the tournament in the second round.
FIU (20-9) eliminated Denver (13-16) in the first round of the Sun Belt Tournament with a 3-1 win over the Pioneers, (25-21, 23-25, 25-21, 25-18). The Panthers have now reached the 20-win plateau for the seventh consecutive season and have advanced to the semi-finals for the second season in a row.
From the very first day of practice, the FIU volleyball team has had the SBC tournament in their line of sight. Every bead of sweat and every bruise on their shoulders have been to improve for the tournament that will officially begin on Thursday, Nov.17 in the U.S Century Bank Arena.
On a night that marked the final game of the regular season for both teams, FIU (19-9, 10-6 SBC) swept Troy (16-14, 6-10) using explosive offense and exceptional defense.
This marks the second consecutive road game that they lose to a team with a sub -.500 record. The Jaguars (10-17, 5-10 SBC) snapped their seven-year losing streak to the Panthers (18-9, 9-6 SBC) with the win.
The Panthers (17-8, 9-5 SBC) lost all the momentum they picked up after a tremendous first-set comeback to lose to the Ragin’ Cajuns (13-17, 5-9 SBC) in five sets, (26-24, 25-16, 27-29, 21-25, 11-15). The loss snapped FIU’s six-game winning streak. It was also the first time the team lost when leading 2-0 this season.
