University of Miami - The Ibis Yearbook

“UM...A World Within A City Exceeding the boundaries of its Coral Gables campus, the University of Miami has spread its wings across the city, throughout the state and around the world. As students come to UM from all 50 states and 109 foreign countries, those students bring their experiences and cul- tures to enrich the UM community, and then take back a piece of UM and Miami when they go home, spreading the name of this institution around the world. Located in the city that is becoming one of the singularly most important ports and trading centers, as the U.S. con- tinues to increase in trade with South America, UM is surg- ing forward with renowned programs in international stud- ies, such as the International Finance and Marketing and the new Graduate School of International Studies, as well as other social and academic opportunities. In addition, the University boasts courses offered from Lon- don to Nassau. The city of Miami and its environs have adapted over the last decade to accommodate different lifestyles. Miami is a growing city, and like most growing cities, it has exper- ienced growing pains, as has UM.
