Inside FGCU Weekly Roundup Email
FGCU is committed to keeping the Eagle community informed about campus events and announcements through a weekly. Each week, University Communications & Media Relations staff will gather information from FGCU’s Calendar of Events and Eagle Link to send relevant updates to students, faculty and staff. The emails will also include links to university announcements shared in the past week. If you would like to make sure your event appears in the Inside FGCU Weekly Roundup, contact Rubi Olvera at rolverachavarria@fgcu.edu.
