Once per month we will draw in students, faculty, staff and publics, and provide food for the mind, the body and the soul. We welcome everyone from the university community and public to gather in the Atrium of ACII to embrace music, ideas and arts for a curated brief interaction to strengthen our collective community. Part of iWitness: The Lunch Break is the sharing of FIU’s research and creative excellence. iWitness: The Lunch Break includes a social media campaign as well as curated thematic playlists each month.
