Congratulations to the following Miamians who were nominated for the the 2016 cohort of 18 Of The Last 9, which seeks to highlight 18 young alumni of the last nine graduating classes. These individuals were nominated by their peers, colleagues, friends and family because they are living out the values inherent in a Miami education, all while building businesses, impacting lives and excelling in their respective career fields. Although only 18 of these names will be more formally recognized, each outstanding young alumnus/alumna on this list is making Miami proud through his/her achievements and endeavors.
Be sure to congratulate them on social media using the hashtag #18of9.
