COLLEGE OF COMMUNICATION, ARCHITECTURE + THE ARTS





Dean’s Newsletter 

Dear CARTA Colleagues,
 
This past month our faculty, students, staff, and alumni have been celebrated locally, nationally, and globally for their achievements.
 
The grand openings of Architecture Professor Shahin Vassighn’s Robotics and Digital Fabrication Lab and the School of Communication + Journalism’s Media Hub once again positioned CARTA as a national thought leader at the forefront of innovation in higher education. These two state-of-the-art facilities provide our faculty and students with access to the latest technologies, create direct ties to industry, and immediately enhance opportunities for faculty research, student learning, and student job placement.
 
CARTA faculty’s global reach through their impactful teaching, research, and engagement were also highlighted this past month. Architecture Professor Thomas Spiegelhalter presented his research finding at the E.U Belmont CRUNCH (Climate Resilient Urban Nexus Choices) workshop in Poland; Dean Emeritus Lillian Lodge Kopenhaver and the Kopenhaver Center For the Advancement of Women presented a Symposium on the Equity of Equality of the Sexes in Communication in Washington, DC; and Art History Professor Emeritus Juan Martinez received the Cintas Foundation’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
 
And, this past week CARTA faculty, staff, students and alumni were well represented here on campus during Homecoming 2018. I’m proud to report the college won the office decorating competition for the 3rd consecutive year and placed first in the Homecoming Parade for the second consecutive year. Paws Up!
 
Please join me in congratulating our colleagues on their accomplishments and for representing CARTA locally, nationally, and globally!
 
In the spirit of the Blue + Gold,
 
Brian


Brian Schriner
Dean

The Lillian Lodge Kopenhaver Center for the Advancement of Women in Communication at Florida International University’s School of Communication, Architecture + the Arts held the Symposium on the Equity and Equality of the Sexes in Communication at FIU in DC in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, October 4. Held just a few blocks from the Capitol and the Supreme Court- steps from the some of the biggest decision-makers in the country- speakers and attendees engaged in thought-provoking conversations on the wage gap and the glass ceiling facing many in the workplace.

“Like millions of our fellow Americans who will gather in their homes, around their televisions at work and restaurants, and social media- we are all united in discussing an issue that has our country deeply divided,” said Brian Schriner, dean of the College of Communication, Architecture + The Arts at FIU. “Since 2013, the Lillian Lodge Kopenhaver Center has offered leadership training, mentoring programs, and published illuminating gender equality research studies that have helped us push this conversation forward.”​
