Leon, CEO of Diselca, is originally from Israel, where she picked up English, Spanish, Hebrew, Russian and French before studying business law at UM.

Selem, CTO and founder of their company, is pursuing mechanical engineering at UM and brings prior startup experience to the team through GumGauge, his first engineering project in high school.

“We’re essentially looking to reduce the flammability, increase the mileage and make batteries safer overall,” Leon said, when asked about Diselca’s mission. “We want to bring the benefits of solid-state technology right now, but without the price tag.”

Amoura Jewelers, a student-run business founded by UM juniors Khushi Vyas and Haley Atallah, launched this summer with an emotional backstory and a clear mission: to create meaningful, culturally inspired pieces that last for generations.
What started as a conversation about a school project during a walk to class quickly transformed into a real business. Both marketing and finance majors at Miami Herbert Business School, the duo had always joked they’d make great business partners. One day, they decided to make it real.

The University of Miami has achieved a historic fundraising milestone, surpassing its $2.5 billion goal by raising a total of $2.65 billion through Ever Brighter: The Campaign for Our Next Century.

This achievement is the largest philanthropic effort by any private institution in Florida.

“The priorities were really based on the University’s priorities and the roadmap to our second century,” Joshua Friedman, senior vice president for development and alumni relations said in a statement to The Hurricane. “There were investments in supporting our students through scholarships, facilities across the entire university, research everywhere from the Rosenstiel campus to the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and then in athletics.”

Flash flooding in Central Texas over Independence Day weekend has killed more than 120 people, including 27 campers and counselors at a summer camp. It is one of the deadliest flooding events to occur in the last 50 years.

With so many Texans impacted by the flood, members of our UM community are feeling the weight of the tragedy. Mercer Peakes is a rising junior at UM from Houston who says the devastation hit close to home.
