FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY STRATEGIC THEMES Sraegic hemes are areas of aciviy (academic programs, research, and ser vice) ha offer opporuniies for developmen and he poenial o achieve sraegic advanages in higher educaion. Given rapid globalizaion in he 21s cenury, FIU s sraegic hemes necessarily involve engagemen a boh he local and global level. INTERNATIONAL Florida Inernaional Universiy was originally charered wih a mission o promoe inernaional undersanding. We responded o his mission by appoining faculy who have professional experise in fields ha are inernaional in conen and applicaion and who have professional experience abroad as well as by encouraging our sudens o pursue a bilingual/bilierae compeency and sudy abroad experience. These effors led o a disinguished inernaional repuaion, paricularly in inernaional business and he sudy of he Lain American and Caribbean region. Our effors in he inernaional sphere are suppored by our geographic locaion; he culural and ehnic diversiy of he Souh Florida communiy; he coninued globalizaion of he Florida and naional economies; and he sae s desire o be a global leader in economic developmen in he 21s Cenury. These condiions provide a unique opporuniy for FIU o be a major connecing poin beween naions and heir ciizens. ENVIRONMENT Souh Florida is a fragile blend of he ocean, he Everglades, and urban areas. Coninued developmen of he area provides a unique opporuniy for environmenal educaion and research. Undersanding our naural and man-made environmens and he relaionships beween hem is necessary for he coninued vialiy of boh. Populaion growh and exploiaion of naural resources and he environmen have creaed local and global environmenal problems ha mus be addressed o ensure a susainable environmen and developmen.
