We Went to Miami

About We Went to Miami

Before there were deadlines and 9 to 5s…There were snow days, late-night study sessions, and unforgettable moments that shaped who we are. This is We Went to Miami — the podcast where alumni stories come to life. Each episode, we sit down with RedHawks who’ve taken their Miami experience and turned it into something remarkable — entrepreneurs, educators, artists, execs, and more. Hosted by Miami alum-turned-storyteller Amitoj Kaur, this podcast is your invite to laugh, reminisce, and maybe even text your old college roommate—whether you graduated last year or decades ago.
