Miami Dade College is located within one of the most dynamic, multicultural communities in the U.S. Positioned between two continents, at the crossroads of a multitude of languages and cultures, Miami has become an international hub. Many of us come from faraway lands. Our variety is our great strength, and a positive embrace of cultural differences is our good fortune to enjoy. As a state-supported college, with six campuses and numerous outreach centers, Miami Dade College is nationally recognized as one of the largest and best colleges in America. The Wolfson Campus, in Downtown Miami, will provide a splendid environment for your orientation to the diversity and creativity that characterize American universities.

We are honored to host the Fulbright Gateway Orientation, which will provide you with an overview of Fulbright goals and traditions, survival skills for graduate study, and an understanding of current U.S. social issues.

Again, I am delighted to welcome you to Miami Dade College, and I offer you my best wishes for a valuable and satisfying Fulbright experience.
