University of Miami

February 2025

message from the dean

As we kick off the University of Miami's centennial celebration, we reflect on a legacy of innovation that has always been rooted in addressing the challenges of each era. From advances in aviation to breakthroughs in biomedical devices, our faculty, students, and alumni have pushed the boundaries of what is possible. 

Today, we look toward artificial intelligence as it transforms industries and reshapes how we live and work. As a college, we embrace this moment in helping shape the future of AI research and its application. 

This month, we're hosting two AI–focused events: the Horizon AI Hackathon on Feb. 22-23, a two-day innovation marathon where students develop impactful AI solutions, and the Rothberg Catalyzer Summit on Feb. 25, which will bring together experts to discuss AI's impact on business, the arts, education, and engineering. 

As the University celebrates 100 years of excellence, we do so with our eyes set firmly on the future–one that we will continue to shape through research, education, and collaboration.
