On Saturday, March 15, a group of 12 Panthers from the Broward Alumni Chapter gathered for their annual Panther Day of Service.

A day to share the philanthropic FIU spirit, the group chose Habitat for Humanity as their medium. They worked together to paint the exterior of a newly built home in Broward County. Chapter leader, Celina Saucedo, recounted that the most fulfilling aspect of the day was being able to meet the future homeowners and show them around their new home. It was the perfect team-building experience and a chance to give back to the community. The DNA of an FIU Panther was embodied through these compassionate and driven individuals.
