Earl Maucker, Sun-Sentinel:

"We have a great relationship with the staff at FIU. Our executive news editor is an FIU grad and we have a number of former students from the journalism program at the university. We also have a number of interns who come from FIU who have had very successful training at the Sun-Sentinel. Some of our top job prospects come from FIU. It's a great resource for us."

“It's been a pleasure to see the FIU School of Journalism and Mass Communications grow into one of the more sophisticated schools around. There is a real commitment multimedia. As the region has grown more complex and the requirements for young journalists more varied, the school has grown to meet the needs. Perhaps most impressive is the way they have charted a course for the future. The interns and graduates that we have hired at the Sun-Sentinel have been most impressive.”

Tom Fiedler, Miami Herald:

"There was a time when The Miami Herald regarded FIU's journalism program as our secret treasure trove where we could spot and develop the next generation of newsroom talent without fear of seeing others snatch it away. No more. With several Pulitzer Prize winners to its credit, FIU is now on the radar of every major media organization. It's still a treasure trove -- but no longer a secret. Too bad for us, but good for FIU."

"No journalism program in the country has had more success than FIU's in providing graduates who have filled virtually every critical newsroom slot and who -- like Pulitzer Prize winners Manny Garcia and Liz Balmaseda -- have brought acclaim to The Miami Herald."

Joe Zubizaretta, Zubi Advertising:

“FIU is turning out some of the finest bilingual marketing minds in the country, a talent that is difficult to find and extremely valuable to our industry.”

Helga Silva, Vice President of News, Univision 23 & Telefutura 69:

"We have been fortunate at WLTV Noticias 23 to count on FIU's Journalism program to have a pool of motivated students we can pick for our internship program. Many of them have been hired as employees after graduation."

Gerard F. Corbett, Vice President,Branding and Corporate Communications Group, Hitachi America, Ltd. :

“To succeed in the business of public relations, writing ability is our stock in trade. It is the one most paramount capability without which there is no opportunity to be successful. The faculty at FIU understands this urgent need all too well and the curriculum provides the courses and rigor to prepare students for success.”

Marcus Molina, Vice President, Corporate Communications, MasterCard Worldwide Latin America & Caribbean Region:

“Florida International University’s SJMC’s intense program curriculum continuously provides employers with top notch professionals in the field of Communications. Year after year, MasterCard has depended on superb SJMC alumni for its Communications needs. In fact, the majority of MasterCard’s Corporate Communications team in Miami is made by FIU graduates, and their contributions to the company’s internal and external audiences have been instrumental in achieving positive results in positioning the company’s brand, products and image to a worldwide audience.”
