The FIU Nicole Wertheim College of Nursing & Health Sciences (NWCNHS) Dean’s Alumni Advisory Board serves as an extension of the FIU Alumni Association and acts as the College’s external voice. Board members play a vital role as ambassadors, leveraging their expertise, advocacy, and support to advance the College’s mission and impact in healthcare education and practice.

Guided by the strategic priorities of NWCNHS, Advisory Board members are key partners in fostering a culture of pride, engagement, and professional excellence. Through their involvement, they champion the College’s vision, strengthen alumni connections, and elevate the reputation of NWCNHS among the broader healthcare and academic communities.

The Advisory Board focuses on three core areas: Engagement, Service, and Development.
