MIAMI (CBS4) ― Miami-Dade College on Saturday will hold seven commencement ceremonies representing eight campuses. Nearly 9,000 students will not only graduate but gain some advice and inspiration from some very important people during keynote addresses.

DeGioia, and Royal Caribbean Cruises Chair Richard Fain, among others. MDC will award honorary Bachelor of Science degrees in education to Pelosi, Dr. DeGioia, Spellings, and Saca.

It is also home of the Miami Book Fair International, Miami International Film Festival, the Cultura del Lobo performing arts series, the Miami International Sculpture Park, and a large art gallery and theater system.
