Cruz-Taura '93 is going back and forth from the main dining room of Fifty Restaurant & Lounge to the downstairs kitchen: It is a mid-January Friday afternoon and the restaurant, located at the end of the fourth block of South Beach’s Ocean Drive, is preparing for an influx of guests clamoring to taste one of the restaurant’s specialties. |  | Alumnus and McNair Scholar Haroldo Silva ’05 will spend much of his summer in an FIU laboratory continuing to unlock the mysteries of the cardiovascular system. At the end of July, he will take his research to a new level when he moves to California to begin the Ph.D. program at the University of California at Berkeley in the fall. |  | A study in educational tradition is best exemplified by the Flores family: Jordan Mullins-Flores, 20, is a sophomore currently attending FIU as an accounting major.

Mullins-Flores '04 graduated with a degree in marketing and a minor in hospitality and tourism management, while their father Walter Flores received his degree in hospitality and tourism management in 1985. |  | When Joy Wallace '81 started A Joy Wallace Catering Production & Design Team in the fall of 1988, she and her chef were the company's only full-time employees.

But for Martin Amado ‘96, the host of WSVN 7 News' home makeover segment “Room for Improvement,” it's all in a day's work – literally. | 
 | Ana J. Colls ‘02 and William A. Ramos ‘85 both grew up in Miami, attended FIU and dedicated their careers to social services, but until April, their paths had never crossed. Today, the two – who graduated from FIU 17 years apart -- are both national fellows in the prestigious National Urban Fellows (NUF) leadership development program. This is the first time in the program’s 36-year history that two FIU alumni are fellows in the same class. |  | Teresita Fernandez '90; FIU alumna Teresita Fernandez, a New York-based sculptor born and raised in Miami , is among the winners of this year's John D. and Catherine T.
