University of Miami President Julio Frenk stated, “I congratulate Miami Business School on organizing this high-level meeting consistent with our strategy to make the University of Miami an important hub for the exchange of ideas in our hemisphere.”
Dean John Quelch of Miami Business School thanked Professors Joseph Ganitsky and Manuel Santos for “arranging a powerful and intellectually stimulating program,” and affirmed “Miami Business School’s commitment to making this top-quality regional conference an annual event on our calendar.”
Alongside the conference, twenty members of Miami Business School’s newly formed Latin America and Caribbean Advisory Board met with faculty to discuss the School’s strategy for the region.
Dean Quelch commented, “Around one-quarter of our full-time faculty have roots in Latin America and the Caribbean. We have much to offer as well as much to learn through closer partnerships with businesses and universities throughout the region.”
