The FIU Cuba Forum is an open discussion among FIU experts and the community regarding the appropriate role of FIU in a future Cuba. This discussion will serve as the first step in planning for FIU's participation in Cuba, once federal and state laws allow exchange and the FIU Board of Trustees deems it appropriate.
The backdrop for the discussion will be a review conducted by renowned economist and Latin American Studies Professor Carmelo Mesa-Lago. His presentation will highlight opportunities and needs in Cuba as well as resources and strengths that FIU can bring to the table. The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion that includes key FIU faculty and administrators in areas such as business, engineering, hospitality, medicine, and international relations.
