As 2025 comes to a close, Florida International University (FIU) President Jeanette M. Nuñez has expressed gratitude and pride for the university community’s achievements during her first year as president.
“This year has been especially meaningful to me as my first serving as FIU’s seventh president, and I am grateful for the outpouring of support and the trust placed in me to lead this institution into its next chapter,” Nuñez stated.
Nuñez highlighted that FIU was recognized by the Wall Street Journal as the top university in Florida and continues to be a national leader in economic mobility, student success, and research excellence. She encouraged the community to review some of the most significant research stories from 2025.
She also noted that Panther pride was evident both academically and athletically. The university’s football team is scheduled to play in a bowl game on December 26, and Nuñez called on supporters to rally behind the team.
“I invite you to take a moment to watch the year-in-review video and reflect on the many milestones that defined 2025. They represent the dedication, innovation, and resilience of our students, faculty, and staff,” she said.
Nuñez concluded with well wishes for the holiday season: “I wish you a joyful and restful holiday season. May the New Year bring you and your loved ones health, happiness, and continued success.”
