Campus attractions at the university of miami.

By Florence Beth Snyder

“Home of the Hurricanes” fits the University of Miami (UM) like a glove. The school opened in 1926 in Coral Gables and has grown to be an internationally renowned force of nature.

The main campus sits on 260 acres in Coral Gables, the “City Beautiful” that lies within the Miami metro area. UM is chock full of cultural and artistic treasures that inspire students, delight visitors, and are an integral part of Miami’s rise to prominence as the “Gateway to the Americas.” UM’s top-ranked School of Music dates back to the University’s opening and reflects the founders’ belief that music holds an essential place in a quality liberal arts education, and also in the quality of life for the larger community. Today, the School offers academic programs and public performances in every music genre you’ve ever heard, and a few that you probably have not. The 600-seat Maurice Gusman Concert Hall is an exquisite setting in which to enjoy faculty and student ensembles in performance year-round.  Gusman Hall is the principal venue for the School’s annual Festival Miami, an acclaimed international celebration of music featuring Grammy winning guest artists and students who are well on the way to being Grammy winners of tomorrow.  You'll want to see those shows in person, and you’ll want to keep Gusman’s live stream schedule handy for when you and your laptop are far away. The Weeks Center for Recording and Performance is known for close to perfect sound, thanks to its designer, the late Charles Paul Boner, a physicist, musician and master of architectural acoustics. You can listen for yourself most anytime, because the Center’s Clarke Recital Hall is used daily for recitals concerts, and ensemble performances by students and faculty who love playing to a live audience.

Students perform in the production "Of Thee I Sing" at the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre, which sits on the-260 acre main campus of the University of Miami.

- Patrick Farrell for VISIT FLORIDA

Season tickets to UM’s Ring Theater make an ideal gift for year-round south Florida residents. Since 1946, the university’s Department of Theater Arts has captivated audiences and launched the careers of students whose names are household words to theater aficionados everywhere. If you hear the lullaby of Broadway as you walk through the doors, it’s not your imagination. The Ring now bears the name of composer and lyricist Jerry Herman, UM Class of '53, who won Tony awards for “Hello, Dolly!” and “La Cage aux Folles.” You may also hear the footsteps of action heroes and villains. That, too, is not your imagination. Before they became Hollywood heavy hitters, Sylvester Stallone, Steven Bauer and Ray Liotta were UM students learning their craft from master teachers on the stage at The Ring. Speaking of movies, the Bill Cosford Cinema is a state-of-the-art facility offering a “diverse and discerning” array of films for serious movie fans of all ages and tastes. Under the loving and attentive care of UM’s School of Communications, the Cinema screens summer blockbusters as well as independent, international, experimental, documentary and classic cinema. Now in its seventh decade of provoking “critical reflection and serious consideration of film,” the Cinema is among the longest running art houses in the country. The 240 seat venue is ideal for conversation, and you never know when a megawatt star will step off the screen and on to the Cosford stage for an intimate Q & A. Students and faculty welcome visitors and encourage questions at the Gifford Arboretum , a working laboratory for the University’s tropical botany studies. The large collection of trees and plants have individual “name tags” and interpretative signage which make self-guided, spur-of-the moment tours easy and enjoyable. Guided tours and lectures are scheduled throughout the academic year. In 1950, the entire contents of what is now The Lowe Art Museum was housed in three UM classrooms. By 1972, The Lowe had attracted extraordinary philanthropic and public support and became the first university art museum in Florida to be accredited by the prestigious American Alliance of Museums. Today, The Lowe is one of just three Florida university art museums holding membership in the Association of Art Museum Directors. The Lowe boasts a 17,500-object collection recognized as one of the most important in the Americas, with strengths in Renaissance, Baroque, American, as well as Ancient and Native American art. The Asian collection features stunning examples of Chinese, Korean and Japanese ceramics. High art meets pop culture in glassworks by Pablo Picasso.

Visitors taking a self guided walking tour of the 260 acre main campus of the University of Miami in Coral Gables can duck into one of the restaurants in the Donna E. Shalala Student Center, designed by the renowned Miami-based Arquitectonica, to get a drink or a bite to eat.

The Lowe is a convenient location from which to begin a self-guided walking tour   of the UM campus. There are plenty of places along the route to eat, drink and catch some Florida sunshine. When you’re ready to cool off indoors,  the UM libraries’ permanent and special collections  provide ever-changing exhibits that are so entertaining, the kids won’t even notice they’re getting a first-class education. When you go… University of Miami 1320 S Dixie Hwy Coral Gables, Fla. 33124 305-284-2211

19 Facts About Tim Walz, Harris’s Pick for Vice President

Mr. Walz, the governor of Minnesota, worked as a high school social studies teacher and football coach, served in the Army National Guard and chooses Diet Mountain Dew over alcohol.

• Share full article

By Simon J. Levien and Maggie Astor

• Published Aug. 6, 2024 Updated Aug. 9, 2024

Until recently, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota was a virtual unknown outside of the Midwest, even among Democrats. But his stock rose fast in the days after President Biden withdrew from the race, clearing a path for Ms. Harris to replace him and pick Mr. Walz as her No. 2.

Here’s a closer look at the Democrats’ new choice for vice president.

1. He is a (very recent) social media darling . Mr. Walz has enjoyed a groundswell of support online from users commenting on his Midwestern “dad vibes” and appealing ordinariness.

2. He started the whole “weird” thing. It was Mr. Walz who labeled former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, “weird” on cable television just a couple of weeks ago. The description soon became a Democratic talking point.

3. He named a highway after Prince and signed the bill in purple ink. “I think we can lay to rest that this is the coolest bill signing we’ll ever do,” he said as he put his name on legislation declaring a stretch of Highway 5 the “Prince Rogers Nelson Memorial Highway” after the musician who had lived in Minnesota.

4. He reminds you of your high school history teacher for a reason. Mr. Walz taught high school social studies and geography — first in Alliance, Neb., and then in Mankato, Minn. — before entering politics.

5. He taught in China in 1989 and speaks some Mandarin. He went to China for a year after graduating from college and taught English there through a program affiliated with Harvard University.

6. He is a veteran . Mr. Walz enlisted in the Army National Guard as a teenager and retired 24 years later in 2005. He deployed to Italy from 2003 to 2004 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and received the Army Commendation Medal for meritorious service and two Army Achievement Medals.

7. He was a rare breed in Congress: a Democrat from the rural Midwest. For more than a decade, Mr. Walz represented Minnesota’s First District, in the southern part of the state. He was the top Democrat on the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, supported funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, voted for the Affordable Care Act and voted against restricting federal funding for abortion.

8. He is a Nebraskan by birth. He was born in West Point, Neb., grew up in Valentine, Neb., attended high school in Butte, Neb., and graduated from Chadron State College before moving to earn a master’s degree in experiential education from Minnesota State University, Mankato.

9. He got involved in politics after being barred from a George W. Bush rally. In 2004, when he was still a teacher, he accompanied students to the rally and objected when, in his telling , they were denied entrance for having volunteered for Democrats.

10. The woman who trained him to run for office is now his lieutenant governor. Mr. Walz attended Camp Wellstone, a Democratic political training camp named after former Senator Paul Wellstone, before ousting a Republican incumbent to win his House seat in 2006. Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan was a trainer there .

11. He was an early supporter of gay rights. At Mankato West High School in Minnesota in the 1990s, he sponsored a gay-straight alliance and has said it was important at that time for the sponsor to be “the football coach, who was the soldier and was straight and was married.” When he won his House seat in 2006 in a conservative district, he ran on support for same-sex marriage.

12. He has shifted politically on other issues. He was more moderate than many Democrats during his time in the House, voting for stricter vetting of refugees and receiving endorsements from the National Rifle Association. He shifted significantly to the left on guns and on other subjects when he ran for governor in 2018, and he and Minnesota’s Democratic legislature have enacted a sweeping progressive agenda.

13. He is a gun owner and hunts pheasants and turkeys. He introduced a “Governor’s Turkey Hunting Opener” to kick off the turkey-hunting season in Minnesota and runs a similar event for the pheasant-hunting season. “I guarantee you he can’t shoot pheasants like I can,” he said on CNN of Mr. Vance.

14. He would be the third vice president from Minnesota. Hubert Humphrey (who served under President Lyndon B. Johnson) and Walter Mondale (who served under President Jimmy Carter) were the first two.

15. He and his wife had their two children through in vitro fertilization. It took seven years of fertility treatments for them to have their daughter, whom they named Hope. Mr. Walz spoke about the experience publicly after an Alabama Supreme Court ruling this year upended I.V.F. treatment there.

16. He coached the 1999 football state champions. It was the first state championship title for Mankato West High School.

17. He is a Lutheran. More specifically, he sometimes describes himself as a “Minnesota Lutheran.” “Because we’re good Minnesota Lutherans, we have a rule: if you do something good and talk about it, it no longer counts,” Walz joked during a speech last spring. “So what you have to do is to get someone else to talk about you.”

18. He doesn’t drink after a D.W.I. in 1995. Mr. Walz has said he stopped drinking alcohol after he was pulled over for speeding in 1995 and failed a sobriety test . His wife told him at the time: “You have obligations to people. You can’t make dumb choices.”

19. He also does not drink coffee . He prefers Diet Mountain Dew. As does his Republican counterpart.
