Community Partnerships
The Office of Engagement works with community partners to solve challenges they face while linking the FIU community to existing opportunities.
Coalitions
Our coalitions serve as alliances for collaborative action, impact, and growth in our region. Currently, the Office operates the Venture Miami Opportunity Program, the Talent Development Network, Life Sciences South Florida, South Florida Black Prosperity Alliance, and Urban Potential Laboratories.
Public-Private Partnerships
FIU's public-private partnerships serve as cooperative arrangements between the university and other public-private entities to provide enhancing learning opportunities for FIU students.
Community Support & Outreach
With our Community Support & Outreach initiatives, the Office of Engagement supports programming, workshops, conferences, and other community events that connect FIU and external partners together.
In October 2021, we welcomed our Life Sciences South Florida partners and guests to the Women in STEM Brunch, hosted at StartUP FIU. We enjoyed an incredible panel of speakers who shared their stories of being in STEM and enjoyed delicious brunch. Check out pictures from the event here, and stay tuned for our next Life Sciences South Florida event – the Undergraduate Research Symposium!
