Organizers

Our students are high-leveled personnel interested in experiencing and working events. Event organizers should ​consider selecting students from Florida International University, FIU, to assist with their events due to the ​university's strong emphasis on experiential learning and its diverse student body. FIU students are well-​equipped with a mix of academic knowledge and practical skills, gained through the our numerous workshops ​and event opportunities.

Additionally, FIU's location in the heart of Miami, a hub of cultural diversity, ensures that its students are ​accustomed to working in multicultural environments, making them adaptable and effective in handling diverse ​audiences at events. Their enthusiasm, creativity, and strong community ties can greatly enhance the success ​and outreach of any event.

Our executive board will assist in choosing the best students for your event who have a genuine interest in the ​event scope and have the necessary training and background to provide assistance. If you have any questions or ​would like to connect for an event, please send an email to: backofhouse.fiu@gmail.com

Event Highlight

Our students took part of the opening ceremony of Copa America and a special team assisted with ​the first ever Copa half-time show! Afterwards they enjoyed this once in a lifetime opportunity!
