INIT FIU

Hello network! I have some super exciting news - INIT FIU Executive Board Applications are open! I joined INIT FIU as a freshmen and I can't explain how much of an impact it's had on me. Thanks to the amazing people I met and help they were willing to give me, my life has most definitely changed. Not only in terms of the opportunities I was able to take advantage of, but the impact I've been able to have - which has been incredibly fulfilling. If you're interested in being part of the largest technical student organization at Florida International University, running the largest collegiate diversity hackathon in the United States with #ShellHacks, and trying to change the technology space one student at a time - apply at this link: https://lnkd.in/ekXVw8WN :) Also, if you have any questions about the roles or the responsibilities of being part of the INIT FIU eboard, don't hesitate to reach out!

And…That’s a Wrap! 1,400+ Hackers, 257 projects, 100+ industry partners, mentors, judges and volunteers. #ShellHacks 24 is one for the record books! Huge applause to the INIT FIU leadership team and the many students who planned and executed this ambitous weekend. Day-three was all about #competition, #collaboration, #commendation and #celebration. I’m awestruck by the #industry volunteers, some of whom spent most of their weekend on campus with the students. When it was all said and done, dozens of projects were called on stage to receive prizes from sponsors, including #capitalone #statefarm #microsoft #google #assurant #vanguard #nvidia and more. In addition to judging, our industry volunteers have already started planning the next creative #industryacademic partnerships. Stay tuned for what comes next! Congratulations to the students from all the universities represented this past weekend, including University of Florida, University of South Florida, University of Central Florida, Miami Dade College Florida Atlantic University, and of course Florida International University.
