For starters, it helps to represent and symbolize that I am a proud alumnus of Florida International University. Staying involved with the Alumni Association also provides an official connection where I can easily maintain a relationship with the university. Furthermore, by giving back to my alma mater and the Alumni Association, I believe I am contributing to an institution that supports its alumni base and its current student population. In turn, this helps current FIU students benefit in a similar fashion as I did.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What does FIU mean to him<\/span>:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #222222;\">As an international student coming from Jamaica, FIU was a true \u201chome away from home\u201d for me.
