International Is Our Middle Name: Oral Histories of FIU
This collection features oral histories produced by graduate students in EDH 6061: History of Higher Education at Florida International University. Through interviews with individuals affiliated with FIU - past or present - these narratives document the university’s history, growth, and connections across academic and professional spheres.
Each interview provides insight into FIU’s development and the experiences of those who have been part of its story. These oral histories offer valuable perspectives on the university's evolution and its impact on students, faculty, and staff.

A special thanks to the narrators for their time and contributions to this project. This collection would not have been possible without the dedication of the students in EDH 6061, FIU Special Collections & University Archives, as well as support from FIU’s Digital Collections Center.
