Our sophomores and juniors truly
enjoyed their rescheduled visit to the University of Miami on Wednesday,
February 24th! While our
original plan included a trip to both Florida Atlantic University and
University of Miami on January 27th, the unsettled weather patterns
did not cooperate. However, our hosts at
UM were graciously willing to reschedule and this time the weather was
beautiful!

Visiting college campuses is an invaluable
part of the college search and application process so our trip included an
introduction to the brand-new Admissions Office in the completely renovated University
Center. Jeff from Fort Lauderdale, our Tour Guide, gave us an in-depth view of
the campus facilities as well as student life on campus. We saw a residence hall room – nice but a bit
small – and peeked in to the gorgeous fitness center. Wednesday is Farmer’s
Market day at UM so we were able to enjoy the sights, sounds and scents of the
many different food and other vendors in the middle of campus as we walked
through.
Near the end of the tour, we stopped
at the “U” for a photo op and it’s easy to see that everyone was having fun!

Jeff then escorted us to the
beautiful new Braman Miller Center for Jewish Student Life, the expanded
Hillel. After some refreshing lemonade and
lunch, Robyn Fisher, Assistant Director of Hillel and Sammy, an active student
leader, lead a tour of the building and also discussed the elements of Jewish
student life at Miami.

This was certainly a fun and worthwhile
experience, and we may just have a few future “Canes” among our Rosenblatt High
School students!
