At FIU's Office of Engagement, we deepen the bond shared by the university and our region, enabling collaborative initiatives that change lives and solve problems around the globe. The Office of Engagement continues to scale and manage partnerships and collaboratives like Life Sciences South Florida, the Talent Development Network, and Royal Caribbean. The Office responds to both internal and external community needs by being at the frontlines in supporting the university community during times of need, continuing to leverage higher education resources to find solutions to community challenges, and supporting fellow anchor institutions like our local municipal partners, the Beacon Council, and the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce. The Office works closely with units across the university to connect programs and projects to community partners, "leading in assists" for the university community.
