Message from Leadership

Hello FIU family,

We have reached our golden anniversary – and what a fitting accomplishment considering our collective dedication to the FIU blue and gold. Fifty years have passed since our inception, and it is humbling to witness the continuous growth of our public research university.

Our youth gives us a distinct advantage for this century. In fact, it is our secret advantage. FIU has the opportunity to set the standard for so many exciting developments within higher education.

As a university, we take responsibility. We are a solutions center. We see ourselves as a force for good. We provide hope and opportunity. We obsess on impact.

You are helping us to make it happen.

In this year’s annual report, we showcase some of the many donors from this past year and, most importantly, we share the positive impact that our donors – you – have had on our programs. Every day, your gifts support and encourage our FIU as we strive to reach the next horizon. We are incredibly proud and honored by the amount of support we have received over the years. So many lives have been changed for the better along the way. We are inspired each day by these success stories.

We promise you, the best is yet to come as we celebrate this 50th anniversary of our FIU.
