In-person commencement ceremonies will be returning this year for the Class of 2021, per an email from the Office of the Provost sent to the UH community on Thursday morning.
Students will be able to graduate in person this year in an outdoor venue with limited attendance.
“I know how important the ritual of walking across the stage is for our graduates and we are eager to make this happen – but in the safest possible manner,” Paula Myrick Short in her email to the UH community.
A separate ceremony will be held for students who graduated in May and December of 2020 to grant them the opportunity to have a proper ceremony.
Miami-Dade s new sea rise strategy: build higher and back away from the water
Miami Herald (FL)
Feb. 26 Miami-Dade s new strategy for adapting to sea level rise comes down to two main ideas: build up higher and back away from the water.

Florida Keys, or buying out whole streets of homes on the riverfront, or shorelines lined with mangroves instead of condos.
On Friday,
Miami-Dade released its vision for how it will survive the two feet of sea level rise it expects by 2060, enough to cause an estimated
$25 billion in damages.
