A crowd of bikers gathered near
the Government Center Metrorail sta-tion
Saturday morning. At 10 a.m.,
the group of more than 100 people
mounted their bicycles and kicked off
for a group ride through the streets of
Miami.
Celebrate Diversity Miami (CDM)
is an organization created by UM
alumna Naomi Ross. The group orga-nized
the 13-mile group bicycle ride on
Saturday, Oct. 11, to raise awareness
about community-development proj-ects
and expose participants to differ-ent
parts of Miami.
“This is a large-scale community
engagement event that will change the
minds of people about certain areas in
Miami,” Ross said. “Just because you
hear something in the media, it’s not
everything communities are made of.”
Thirteen individu-als
have been appointed
to the Presidential Search
Committee that will se-lect
President Donna E.
Shalala’s successor, ac-cording
to a university-wide
memo sent Friday
by Stuart A. Miller,
chairman of the Board of
Trustees.
Nine of Miller’s appointees are members
of the Board of Trustees – including a student
trustee, senior Amy Halpern – and four are fac-ulty
members.
Shalala announced that she will be step-ping
down as president of the University of Mi-ami
in September.
Miller appointed Richard D. Fain, vice
chair of the Board of Trustees and CEO of
Royal Caribbean Cruises, to chair the commit-tee.
Fain has been a trustee since 1997.
“This will be an inclusive process and will
seek valuable input from the greater Univer-sity
of Miami community,” Miller wrote in a
statement sent to the university community in
September.
According to Miller, the next steps in the
search will be to reach out to other “campus
constituencies” and select an executive consult-ing
firm. The student trustee is a full member
of the board and can attend any meetings, ac-cording
to Patricia Whitely, vice president for
Student Affairs
Committee members were not able to
comment at the time of publication.
