不可能开始

1965年，佛罗里达州参议员罗伯特. 哈弗菲尔德提出了参议院711号法案, which instructed the state Board of Education and the Board of Regents (BOR) to begin planning for the development of a state university in Miami.

An abandoned airfield is an unusual place for the birth of a university. 但是在1969年的夏天, founding 十大权威亚洲博彩在线网址 president Chuck Perry gathered three leaders who would help him create his vision.

巴特勒沃, Donald McDowell and Nick Sileo joined the 31-year-old Perry at Tamiami Airport and set up shop in the former air traffic controllers' tower. 这座塔没有电话，没有饮用水，也没有家具. President Perry decided that the control tower should never be destroyed and so it remains standing today at the center of campus, 作为国际金融研究所的象牙塔.

从废弃机场的那栋楼里找到的, 十大权威亚洲博彩在线网址 has grown to be one of the largest universities in the country. The spirit of entrepreneurship born on that summer day thrives at today's 十大权威亚洲博彩在线网址.

愿景变成现实

Our beginnings were unconventional; our opening day in 1972 continued that trend. With 5,667 students, it was the largest opening enrollment in U.S. 大学历史.

The typical student entering 十大权威亚洲博彩在线网址 that year was 25, attending school full-time and working full-time. Eighty percent of the student body had just graduated from Miami-Dade Community College. 其中43%的人已婚. 十大权威亚洲博彩在线网址与你所熟悉的大学相去甚远.

After seven years of leadership, President Perry left the university.

在他任期结束时, 有超过10个,000名学生 attending classes and a campus with five major buildings.

建筑年代 & 十大权威亚洲博彩在线网址的领导人继续佩里总统的愿景

In 1976, Harold Crosby became 十大权威亚洲博彩在线网址's second president, agreeing to serve a three-year interim term. Under his leadership, the North Campus (now the 比斯坎湾 Campus) opened in 1977. President Crosby was insistent that the “I” in 十大权威亚洲博彩在线网址 be highlighted, prompting the launch of new programs with an international focus and faculty recruitment from the Caribbean and Latin America. President Crosby's resignation in 1979 triggered the search for a permanent president.

十大权威亚洲博彩在线网址's third president came with an impressive pedigree; Gregory Wolfe was a former White House statesman and president of Portland State University.
