FIU Creating Maurice A. Ferré Institute for Civic Leadership
The new institute will honor the life and work of its namesake and will address the critical matters of preparing diverse leadership for public service, increasing civic participation for a stronger democracy and promoting social justice. The institute’s research and scholarship will examine a wide range of issues championed by Ferré, who served as mayor of the city of Miami from 1973 to 1985, over the course of his distinguished career in public service.
