FIU School of Hospitality’s S New Carnival Student Center Underway

Leaders of two travel and tourism giants came together for the April 5th groundbreaking of Florida International University (FIU) School of Hospitality’s new Carnival Student Center.

FIU President Mark B. Rosenberg, FIU School of Hospitality and Tourism Management Interim Dean Joan Remington, FIU Board of Trustees Chairman Albert E. Dotson, Sr. joined Carnival Cruise Lines President and CEO Gerald R. Cahill, Carnival Foundation Director Linda Coll, Jim Berra, Carnival Sr. Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, guests and dignitaries to break ground on the new Center on the grounds of FIU’s Biscayne Bay Campus.

The Carnival Student Center represents a major step forward for FIU’s acclaimed School of Hospitality and Tourism Management.

A 2,600-square-foot space next to the campus’s bayside terrace is being renovated and repurposed to create a formal and informal gathering place for students. With its multipurpose use and resource center, the Carnival Student Center will become a hub where students will meet, hold get-togethers and student organization meetings, work on group projects, and create presentations in the computer center.
