“This partnership reflects Barry University’s commitment to enriching opportunities for our students while serving as a strong community partner,” said Barry University President Dr. Mike Allen.
Miami Country Day School President Mariandl Hufford added, “This agreement provides our students with access to Barry’s championship-level facilities, while supporting Barry’s athletes through our swimming complex. It’s a true win-win for both institutions and the Miami Shores community.”
The announcement was celebrated with a signing ceremony at Barry University attended by university and school leaders, student-athletes, local officials, and community representatives.
