Recruited to the University of Southernmost Florida, Mr. Perez said, are Dr. Steve Kerr, who will serve as president, and the former mayor of Coral Gables, Don Slesnick, who has been named dean of the school of public administration.

In the world of securities fraud, Eric Bustillo is Miami's top cop. As director of the US Securities and Exchange Commission's Miami Regional Office, his jurisdiction covers Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
He says he does it to make a difference. He sees his job as "protecting people who need protecting." And he does it all despite a 1982 auto accident that left him a quadriplegic.
He has an understated way. But his resume speaks for itself.
He earned degrees in business and law from the University of Miami in 1985 and 1989, respectively. He started his career at the SEC's Miami office from 1990 to 1995 as an enforcement staff lawyer and as branch chief. Then it was on to the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida for 15 years as an assistant US attorney and chief of the Economic and Environmental Crimes Section. In that role, he was responsible for managing more than 60 employees and leading the investigation and prosecution of complex white-collar crimes.
Mr. Bustillo was named to his current post in December 2009, heading the regional headquarters in Miami — one of 11 offices of its kind in the nation. He quickly earned the respect of both superiors and subordinates.
Calling the Miami office "a key ingredient in our national enforcement effort," SEC Division of Enforcement Director Robert Khuzami said Mr. Bustillo's "great talent and experience, along with the expertise and professional excellence of the current enforcement management staff, will combine to continue that office's record of smart and informed enforcement action and investor protection."
Mr. Bustillo manages a staff of about 100 attorneys, paralegals, researchers and others.
After meeting him, Greg Gilman, Chapter 293 president of the SEC employees union, described him as "straightforward and sincere." According to the union, relations previously were strained between senior management and frontline staffers at the Miami office. "Since Bustillo's arrival," a union newsletter states, "union representatives have found him to be a pleasure to work with."
His appointment also came at an important juncture for the SEC. He has overseen the Miami office through a reorganization of the Enforcement Division. "Due to the fact that Bustillo likes to be well informed about all of the investigations, cases and examinations, he was extremely busy through the entire reorganization," the union wrote.
Mr. Bustillo took the helm in Miami — which has grown into an international financial capital — in the aftermath of the financial crisis that has resulted in a slew of regulations. He says the SEC needs to use its limited resources strategically to make the greatest impact, while fulfilling its mission of protecting investors and guarding the integrity of capital markets.
Mr. Bustillo discussed his career and the challenges facing the SEC in his Brickell Avenue office with Miami Today reporter Scott Blake.

George R. Harper has pioneered the practice of international law and cross-border transactions in Miami and South Florida. During his 42-year career, he has seen Latin American-US business transactions become more and more sophisticated as Miami continues to become a center of international commerce.
“When I started out, an international practice would be defined as somebody from Venezuela buying a condominium in Miami,” he said. “It’s gone significantly past that. We’re doing international mergers and acquisitions. We’re doing international distribution agreements. We’re doing US franchise agreements nationwide for clients in Central America, so it’s become a lot more sophisticated and a lot more complex.”
His firm, Harper Meyer, celebrated its 10th anniversary this year. After having worked for both large and small law firms, Mr. Harper knew that being part of a small, service-oriented firm was one of his top priorities. Harper Meyer has grown from three lawyers to 12 and is looking to grow slightly more.
His areas of expertise include operating and financing aviation equipment leases, foreign debt renegotiations, asset-based lending, distribution agreements, franchising, licensing and commercial transactions.
“I’ve always had that interest,” he said about international law. “In fact, when I started out as a young lawyer just out of law school, I left [a] firm because they did not do international work. I was born in Cuba… I speak Spanish fluently and I’ve traveled extensively in Latin America. It just seemed to gravitate in that direction from the very beginning.”
Mr. Harper is the former president of the Inter-American Bar Association, the University of Miami Alumni Association and the University of Miami Law Alumni Association. He has also served on the board of the Salvation Army and was board chairman of the Historical Museum of Southern Florida, currently known as HistoryMiami.
He talked about his career and trends in international law with Miami Today’s Patricia Hoyos in his downtown Miami office.

Ms. Altonaga is involved with law-related organizations and is often a speaker at law events. She has supported FIU’s law school and says is proud of how much the university, where she and many of her family members attended, has grown.

As president of UPS Americas Region, Romaine Seguin oversees all package and cargo operations in Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean.
Ms. Seguin became president following a 29-year career with UPS, working her way up from part-time hub supervisor in 1983 Missouri. In 1989 she accepted a five-year assignment in Europe, living in the United Kingdom and France.
“UPS is unique,” she said. “We promote within. We’ll hire lawyers for specialty functions off the street, but typically most of us work our way throughout.”
After returning to the US in 1994, Ms. Seguin worked as an air-district controller in Louisville, Kentucky, managing the company’s ramp and hub division from 1996 to 1999. In 1999 Ms. Seguin moved to Detroit as operations division manager, in 2001 she was promoted to managing director of the Gulf South district and in 2004 she was named managing director of the Minnesota district.
In October 2007 Ms. Seguin moved to Milan Italy, where she served as managing director of UPS South Europe and was later promoted to chief operating officer for the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, based in Brussels, Belgium.
Ms. Seguin was asked to serve as president of the Americas Region in September 2010, where she has used the experienced she gained abroad to better operations in the southern US.
“I feel when you live in different cities you learn a different way to handle labor,” she said. “If you get the chance to work abroad or live abroad, absolutely take it in a second. I really think that’s what helped me for this position. The more experience you get with diversity and people in situations the better it prepares us for the job.”
While with the company Ms. Seguin helped open the first automated test wing at UPS Worldport, which was used to test and validate $2 billion worth of technology and equipment. She played a large role in the development of company’s green efforts with the introduction of 12 zero-emission electric vehicles and 30 compressed natural gas vans in Germany and the United Kingdom.
“Sustainability is a very, very big part of the way we do business,” she said. “It’s important with our vendors. We want to partner with vendors who have the same vision. It’s important to our customers and it’s important to our employees.”
Ms. Seguin discussed UPS’s position as the ninth largest airline in the world and the largest air cargo carrier at Miami International Airport with Miami Today staff writer Ashley Hopkins at the UPS Americas Region offices.

FIU's Center for the Humanities in an Urban Environment held a screening of Parallel Lives.
The event was co-sponsored by WPBT2, the FIU Alumni Association and the FIU Black Student Union and featured a talkback with Dr. Dorothy
Jenkins Fields and Ms. Arva Moore Parks.
In this video you can see that talkback with Dr. Fields and Ms. Parks.
Parallel Lives Description: In 1974, Dorothy Fields was an African-American librarian at an all white school in Opa Locka with a special assignment to prepare a black history celebration for the nation’s bicentennial. She met Arva Moore Parks, who was researching the black history of Coconut Grove, at the Historical
Association of Southern Florida. They shared a common interest in Miami’s history.
In turbulent 1950s and ‘60s Fields couldn’t sit at the Woolworth’s lunch counter, but Parks could. Blacks were arrested for mixing with whites. And the Orange Bowl restricted black patrons to the end zone. Parallel Lives tells the story of two women who grew up in Miami, experiencing the city, its history and its culture through vastly different lenses. Their lives touched on numerous occasions, but it was history that finally brought them together.
