| |
|
The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) recognizes Dr. Larry Rice, President Johnson & Wales University, North Miami Campus.Under the leadership of Dr. Rice, Johnson & Wales University created a virtual discussion series via Zoom entitled Crucial Conversations in response to the emotional turmoil the country is currently experiencing. These conversations took shape as dynamic, interactive exercises whereby students, staff, faculty, and community came together to acknowledge what’s going on and find ways that they could support each other and be part of the solution. Crucial Conversation topics included; racial equity, social justice, civic responsibility, voting, criminal justice, policing reform, education, public health and the unique needs of the LGBTQIA+ community. Additionally, the university’s culinary team provided relief by donating food to the North Miami community, the university provided campus housing and meals for displaced students unable to travel due to COVID travel restrictions and financial support and transportation for students experiencing hardship. “We have taken the safety and wellbeing of our campus community very seriously and have enhanced our safety protocols to maximize the welfare of our community” said Dr. Rice.
Congratulations to Dr. Rice for being a shining example of Miami’s best in the community!
