Vol. 1 Issue 11 PantherNOW.com Monday, April 10, 2017 DEVOS GOES PUBLIC The secretary of education makes first visit to a public university during the panel. DeVos, Republican billionaire, faced a difficult confirmation by the Senate over her lack of education administration experience with Vice President Mike Pence giving a historic tie breaking vote to get the required numbers of vote to be confirm. During the roundtable discussion, faculty and students, such as Idaykis Rodriguez, a post-doctoral student, voiced concerns over the accessibility of education and federal funding, particularly for a commuter school that is minority-majority. “FIU serves as a beacon of hope for a lot of our students in order to achieve that American dream,” Rodriguez said during the panel. The future of undocumented student immigrants under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was also brought up by Tarkiu Menberu, an Ethiopian doctor participating in the school’s foreign physician retraining program to become a nurse. According to DeVos, besides pushing for more STEM and STEAM programs, the new administration is taking on a “bigger picture, larger look” approach and is looking to see what programs and initiatives are the most effective for students and instructors. Once these programs are identified, the department will be able to target these resources more effectively to help them “flourish,” while defunding those that aren’t working, DeVos said.

The fusion of Latin, Caribbean, African and European influences has elevated Greater Miami on the world stage with a bravado uniquely its own, attracting a wide cross-section of visitors from around the globe. Signature destination marketing programs along with infrastructure and real estate investment have propelled Miami- Dade County as one of the fastest growing counties in the eastern U.S. in 2019, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Today, Greater Miami has entered a new era where it must address numerous challenges brought about by its status and success as a global destination. Specifically, with regard to the visitor economy, there are many complex issues relating to mobility, workforce development, inclusivity, affordability and sustainability that will require the public and private sectors to collaborate more intentionally than ever before to address effectively. The Strategic Plan for Greater Miami and the Beaches is a 5-year roadmap to outline how the local tourism and hospitality industry can navigate a future ripe with new opportunities amid those challenges. To inform the development of the plan, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), in partnership with the InterVISTAS and MMGY NextFactor consultant teams, convened key industry stakeholders, elected officials and hundreds of residents across the county.
