Go Bobcats!

As the World Cup kicks off today, we’re reflecting on a memorable panel discussion hosted earlier this year, where students had the opportunity to hear from leaders helping shape the future of the world’s most celebrated sporting event.

Representing FIFA were Lynne Carrillo de la Camara ’93, director of commercial legal, and Vanessa Travieso, head of content and media. Joining them were President and CEO Alina Hudak and Chief Marketing and Community Officer Janelle Prieto ’01 of the Miami Host Committee, who are helping position Miami on the global stage as a host city for the tournament.

From careers in sports, media and event management to the impact of hosting a global event, students gained valuable insight into the many opportunities surrounding the World Cup and the role Miami will play in welcoming the world.

Second Team: Marisa Mantecon ’29 for the 800m, Cecilia Santa Cruz ’27 for pole vault, Alessandra Perez ’27 for 3200m.

Swipe left to see our newest Bobcats exploring the fundamentals of email etiquette and discovering their individual learning styles with Ms. Paez ’13.

From crafting professional emails to gaining a better understanding of how they learn best, students are developing valuable skills that will support their success both inside and outside the classroom.
