Miami Dade College

As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms industries and education, Miami Dade College is expanding its AI footprint to prepare its students to seize the opportunities. This week, the college is opening an AI Innovation Hub at its Kendall Campus, with an official ribbon-cutting with the community on Tuesday.

For 20 years, Miami Dade College’s annual Community Health Fair has provided free health services to thousands of uninsured and underinsured residents in Miami-Dade County. It has grown into a large-scale event offering dozens of health screenings, and serving more than 2,000 people each year.

Two of the most significant artists of 20th-century Cuba are being brought together for the first time at Freedom Tower.Carlos Alfonzo and Belkis Ayón, who each gained art world acclaim outside of Cuba before dying young, are the dual subject of the latest exhibition at the Museum of Art and Design (MOAD).

This system hands authorizing power to unelected members of the Miami Dade College Board of Trustees, stripping that exclusive authority from directly elected local school board members at the school district. All members of the Miami Dade College Board of Trustees were appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Launched in partnership with the University of Notre Dame’s Urban Poverty and Business Initiative, the program, Build Up, is designed to turn the entrepreneurial dreams of local residents into sustainable engines of economic mobility.

Miami Dade College will soon begin to authorize new charter schools, according to a presentation reviewed by WLRN, cutting out the school district. “If it's going to be funded by public dollars, in my opinion, the public should have a method by which to hold it accountable," said Miami-Dade school board member Luisa Santos.

After Marvin Dunn sued, the trustees of Miami Dade College voted for a second time to hand over a prime property for President Trump’s future library. He says he’ll keep fighting.

A trial has been set for August 2026 in a lawsuit challenging the transfer of prime Miami real estate to be used for President Donald Trump's presidential library.

Historian Dr. Marvin Dunn continued fighting against a contentious land transfer for President Donald Trump’s future library, in Overtown, a few blocks away from where the president headlined a business forum downtown.

Dr. Marvin Dunn will host a teach-in and press conference in Overtown Wednesday to counter President Donald Trump’s scheduled appearance at the Kaseya Center for the America Business Forum. He is in the midst of a legal battle over the proposed Trump presidential library in downtown Miami.

The investment will train educators, enhance digital infrastructure and develop AI-centered curriculum resources for college and K–12 faculty. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez drew laughter at a panel in the downtown campus when he admitted to using AI to put together a last-minute speech.

A second nonprofit opened by the Trump family this year is slated to receive the land, but questions remain over the money the first entity raised.
