Whether you're looking for an internship, applying to graduate school or searching for a job, PAW connects you with FIU alumni to help you along the way.
Former Panthers engage with students and share their career insights, successes and obstacles they faced.
We bring professional alumni to campus and host a week-long program with events, panels, and in-person and virtual networking meetups.
All PAW events are free, and all you have to do is register and show up.
Host a PAW Event
Students are encouraged to reach out to FIU alumni and host their own PAW event. Clubs and organizations should invite former members to speak to current students.

Find Your Mentor
Register for FIU Mentor and connect with alumni, faculty and community members who can help you achieve your career goals. Mentors can assist with interview practice, resume writing and other professional advice.
Recruit Other FIU Alumni
This is the perfect opportunity to find and connect with alumni who inspire you. LinkedIn is a great way to start. Tell them about PAW. Let them know you’d love to see and hear from them on campus. We’ll help you figure out what to say.
Even if they can’t make the event, you’ve just opened the door to a new professional relationship with a fellow Panther. There are several ways to get involved.
