On November 8, 2008, 38 alumni representing the classes of 1972-1983 were inducted into the Silver Pride. More than 100 Florida International University (FIU) alumni celebrated their 25th year of graduating at the new Stadium Club. The festivities began with brunch and a welcome from FIU President Mitch Maidique. He spoke about the changes and additions to the university over the past 25 years. Business school alumni toured University Park and then joined Executive Dean Joyce J. Elam for a tour of the new College of Business Administration complex.

“It is wonderful to have our alumni come back to University Park to see how much the college has grown, not only via buildings and students but also through the addition of programs and increased international recognition,” said Michelle Joubert, assistant director of advancement and alumni relations. “Alumni who toured the building said that they would love to come back to take classes in our state-of-the-art classrooms.”

The day ended with a tailgate party and a victorious FIU football game.
