This week on The Golden Hour we talked to two Worlds ahead Graduates. They share their personal experiences about attending FIU and facing adversities that most students don’t. They were recognized for excelling academically, succeeding despite obstacles, and using their education and experiences to make a difference.
Cindy Lewis is a grandmother of three, Florida Keys resident, and coral reef expert. She dives deep into the struggles she faced during her time researching the decline of pillar coral, how Hurricane Irma set her back, and what kept her going after all these years.
