Panthers: Stay connected and engaged with virtual classes, events, and tours

As the FIU community and the nation practice social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19, FIU has moved many events and services online.

Steer clear of cabin fever ⁠— and stay healthy, educated, and on track ⁠— by tuning in to these virtual events and activities. Get your workout in, take up new skills like cooking or mindfulness, visit FIU’s “virtual museums,” and more.

This list will be updated as events and services are added. If you have an event or activity you would like to add, please email morgan.hughes@fiu.edu.
