Shark Week 2025 made a big splash at FIU. 🦈 Barnes & Noble College’s FIU Bookstore released the official FIU shark science t-shirt celebrating Florida International University’s marine science expertise — and the FIU scientists making waves on National Geographic’s Shark Week. At Barnes & Noble College, we’re proud to support our campus partners on a hyper-local level, elevating what makes each community unique. Whether it’s game day or a Shark Week spotlight, we’re here to celebrate it with campus spirit and bold gear. Huge shoutout to FIU Bookstore General Manager Michael Comiskey for helping the store ride the Shark Week wave. #SharkWeek #CampusStores #CollegeBookstores #CollegeRetail #PantherPride #FIU #MarineScience
