What is Baynanza?

The early 1980′s marked the beginning of a monumental effort by Miami-Dade County to save Biscayne Bay. The Bay was suffering from pollution its marine environment was in steep decline. Baynanza was created as part of a larger effort to save the bay.

Baynanza (link to website), now in its 28th year, is a celebration of Biscayne Bay as one of our most important ecological and economic systems. While Baynanza includes more than 50 great events spanning from March to April, the event that has become nearly synonymous with the celebration is the Biscayne Bay Cleanup Day.

On April 17, 2010, Cornell Miami will participate with more than 8,500 community volunteers to the shores and islands of our Bay. We wil collectively remove more than 32 tons of garbage accumulated along from Biscayne Bay’s shores.

Do you like the all new Cornell Miami website?  We’ve gone “blog style” for several reasons, the main one being ease of updating information.

Blogs offer a variety of cool features.  The first feature we want to highlight is the “Business Directory.”  The directory is for Cornell alumni living in Miami.  The idea is to input your company information so other Cornellians can find your business information.

Example:  John Smith owns or works for an electrical contracting company.  John would submit his company’s information, write any special offers to Cornell Alumni, and submit his directory listing for review.  We will review it to make sure the person is an alumni living in Miami, that the listing is appropriate, and approve.  Cornell alumni now have someone to contact when they need an electrical contractor in Miami.

NOTE:  Please use this information with tact so that we can keep offering this service.

Sign up today!  Join the Directory.
