2020 MDC Alumni Hall of Fame

The Miami Dade College Alumni Hall of Fame celebrates the achievements of outstanding MDC alumni who are the civic and business leaders of our community, while raising essential funds to support student scholarships for the next generation of Miami's leaders. Honorees are recognized for their career accomplishments and positive impact on the community and the College. Since 2003, more than 350 alumni have been inducted. This is a signature fundraising event of Miami Dade College Foundation.

VIRTUAL CELEBRATION

The 2020 Hall of Fame ceremony welcoming 10 distinguished alumni would’ve taken place on Tuesday, April 14. Since we’re unable to recognize this year's honorees in person, we’re taking our applause virtual with a week-long celebration. Starting Tuesday, April 14, tune into @MDCAlumni IGTV on Instagram and hear from this year’s 10 outstanding inductees as they share their #MDCBold stories. Watch Now
