Gabriela Rodriguez is the recipient of the 2021 Jorge and Darlene Perez Excellence Award.
The award is given to graduating FIU Honors College students who have excelled academically and also demonstrated leadership and service in making a difference in South Florida. Rodriguez plans to use the $10,000 award to help pay for graduate school at Yale University. 
A lover of the outdoors, Rodriguez grew up in Miami admiring its vibrant skies and tropical landscapes. From her backyard to the Everglades, she was always exploring and finding something new. It wasn’t until the day she volunteered to plant trees in a park that her perspective on the environment changed. She realized trees and plants are not just here to enjoy, but that they are imperative for the health of this planet and people.
