Over his 39-year tenure at Univision, he covered five wars, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the War in Afghanistan, while hosting Al Punto and America with Jorge Ramos. Deeply connected to Miami, where he lives in Coconut Grove, Ramos has established an endowed scholarship at the University of Miami's School of Communication for journalism students.
