Supporting Outstanding Academic Results
At FIU, innovation begins with people — our faculty, our students, and our community. The SOAR Initiative provides the critical boost that turns promising ideas into powerful outcomes.
The SOAR Initiative enables timely, high-impact strategic investments in faculty support, student learning, and community engagement that advance institutional priorities. Directed by the Office of the President, it supports recruitment, retention, and faculty development, including national academy-focused hiring and advancement initiatives, as well as efforts that strengthen the academic enterprise, advance student success, and deepen community impact.
It is a nimble high-impact, presidential discretionary fund that accelerates discovery, attracts and supports top talent, and directs strategic investments to sustain and advance FIU’s standing as a preeminent R1 institution.
When you give to the SOAR Initiative, you help FIU respond quickly to emerging opportunities — from investing in groundbreaking research to supporting faculty who are shaping the next generation of Panthers. Your gift provides the flexibility to advance key university priorities and create ripple effects that reach classrooms, labs, and communities across South Florida and beyond.
Your support ensures that FIU — a top-ranked R1 research university — remains nimble, competitive, and ready to lead.
Let's help our Panthers SOAR even higher.
