MIAMI, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Raul Moas, President of the Partnership for Miami, issued the following statement on today’s announcement that Carnegie Mellon University will open a full campus in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood, made possible by a $3 billion gift from Ken Griffin:
“Ken Griffin’s extraordinary $3 billion gift is an investment in Miami’s future on a generational scale, and we are proud to count him among the members of the Partnership for Miami board. A full Carnegie Mellon University campus devoted to solving society’s grand challenges places Miami at the forefront of human advancement.
Education is central to growth and opportunity. Great cities invest in learning at every stage, from a child’s first classroom to an advanced degree.

Wynwood is a beautiful and fitting home. It is a neighborhood that has become a proving ground for Miami’s creativity and ambition, and it will now be a place where the world’s future innovators are formed.
