FIU, “Glee” and “American Idol”


As part of the Worlds Ahead branding campaign, our 30-second spot is now appearing on channels 7 and 10 through mid February. We have been monitoring the Worlds Ahead spot sightings on Twitter and Facebook as well as sending out reminders to our fans about key prime time shows like Glee and American Idol.

The Worlds Ahead commercial was created by the Division of External Relations and everyone in it is part of the FIU community. It features numerous FIU students and student-athletes, including football player #7 Anthony Gaitor; scenes from both the MMC and BBC campuses; alumnus Octavio Hernandez ’74, president and CEO of U.S. Century Bank; alumna Cindy Montes de Oca, a third grade teacher at Carlos Finlay Elementary School; Frost Art Museum Director Carol Damian; and international relations professor Paul Kowert.
