For Kyam Ferrera, choosing was easy. He applied to just one university: the one he had loved since childhood.

Now a civil engineering major in the FIU Honors College and member of the Class of 2030, Ferrera brings a unique combination of engineering ambition and musical talent to campus. He plays piano, guitar, violin, drums, steel pans and more, and has performed everything from classical to pop and rock.

We’re excited to see where his creativity takes him next.
