SGA hosted annual Meet Your Dean event

Message from the SGA president
Greetings!
I would like to welcome you all to Florida International Uni-
versity. This year, I have the pleasure to serve as your Stu-
dent Government President at the beautiful Biscayne Bay
Campus and Pines Center. My council and I strive to serve
and empower students by advocating student’s needs and
concerns. One of our major projects this year is our cam-
paign “2nd Road to Success”. We are highly concerned
about the struggles that students, faculty, staff members and
visitors experience on the road to campus.
If you have any suggestions, questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at
305 919 5680 or come to our office at WUC 301. I wish you a very successful
semester!! Go Panthers!!
-Fu Zhou Wu-

The Student Government Association at the
Biscayne Bay Campus hosted their annual
event “Meet Your Dean,” from 2-4 p.m. on
October 2. There was a great turn out this
year, as students and SGA council members
were able to meet and mingle with the deans
of their schools in an intimate setting, allowing
for networking on both ends.
Freshman Internship program The Student Government Intern Program
(SGIP) is open to students who seek leadership opportunities and who want to learn more about the
duties of being an SGA member, by getting involved with campus events.
On September 18, FIU celebrated
the re-opening of the Aquarius
Reef Base, which was featured on
the Today show and later on CBS.
Located at a depth of 60 feet un-
derwater in the Florida Keys Na-
tional Marine Sanctuary, Aquarius,
is the last sustainable underwater
research lab of its kind. FIU pro-
fessors, researchers and marine
biology students can have the op-
portunity to live in the reef base
for weeks at a time, conducting
research, with the conveniences
of electricity, fresh water and in-
ternet access, according to a Huff-
ington Post article. "This is a very
exciting moment for me and for
FIU since this is the only underwa-
ter research lab in the world," said
Fu Zhou Wu, the SGA President
of the Biscayne Bay Campus. The
lab which was previously in con-
trol by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, was
going to be shut down due to lack
of government funding, according
to the Huffington Post article. In
Spring 2013, FIU announced that
they were going to take over the
lab, to benefit the School of Envi-
ronment and the Marine Biology
program. "No one can doubt that
FIU offers "Worlds Ahead" educa-
tion," Wu said. "I am very proud
of being a FIU panther.”
