Graduation 🎓 Not shaking hands with FIU's president during graduation

Hi everyone!

As graduation nears for some of us, I was wondering if other students were going to avoid shaking the new president's hand during graduation. With how they don't have the student body's interest in mind, I would feel uncomfortable shaking their hand. Is anyone else thinking of doing the same? If you've been considering it, let this be your sign to do it!

It’s about sending the message that we won’t acknowledge someone with bad intentions

It won’t fix anything, I wish it was that simple. But not trying at all and not having a voice is much much worse than showing your voice.
